On certain buses, the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) has an incorrect character in the 9th position. This character is a check digit and is calculated depending upon the remaining 16 characters in the VIN. Customers who may be trying to sell or re-register these vehicles may encounter difficulties insuring the vehicle as the VIN will not pass today's computer verification process. Correction: Customers encountering problems selling or registering these vehicles should contact New Flyer for a letter of validation to be presented to the insuring authority.
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 2006183.

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 New Flyer: 70 in the register, and 377 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2006.
