Certain van chassis' manufactured by Freightliner Custom Chassis were equipped with front hubs rated for a GAWR of only 6,000 lb instead of 7,000 lb. An overloaded front hub may fatigue prematurely and fracture allowing the front wheel to separate from the vehicle and cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. Note: Further evaluation by Gunite Corporation (the hub manufacturer) revealed that, although initially rated for 6,000 lb, the hub is capable of handling a GAWR of 7,000 lb, therefore no corrective action is required.
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 2005379.

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 Freightliner Custom Chassis (fccc): 64 in the register, and 404 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2005.
