A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain trucks, the trailer light wiring harness may have been routed incorrectly during vehicle assembly. This could cause the wires within the harness plug to be pulled away from the chassis plug, resulting in an intermittent or complete electrical power loss to the trailer. This would cause a loss of all trailer lighting and ABS function. Inoperative side markers and tail lamps would make the trailer less visible to other drivers during times of reduced visibility. A loss of brake lamp function would not allow a following driver to know when the brakes have been applied, and a rear-end crash could occur as a result. Correction: Dealers will re-route the wiring harness.
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 2007080.

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 notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Kenworth T600, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Kenworth: 263 in the register, and 420 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2007.
