On certain motorcycles, the positive battery cable may contact a weld bead on the oil tank. This may cause the weld bead to abrade through the cable's insulation and cause an electrical short from the battery through the oil tank and oil lines. This could lead to an oil leak and/or fire, which could result in injury or death to the rider. Correction: Dealers will install a battery caddy with a cable routing channel and protective shield.
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 2007131.

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 Harley-Davidson: 145 in the register, and 420 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2007.
