On certain vehicles, the tie rod ends may have become damaged during vehicle assembly. As a result, a portion of the rubber boot surrounding the area where the attachment shaft comes out of the housing could lose it's tight seal, allowing water or debris to enter the housing, and could eventually lead to separation of the housing from the attachment shaft. Separation of the tie rod end housing from the attachment shaft could cause the rider to lose control and an accident resulting in injury or death could occur. Correction: Dealers will replace both tie rod assemblies.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2005315.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Suzuki: 132 in the register, and 404 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2005.
