On certain conventional and tilt cab trucks, the air compressor may not build enough air pressure to support the air brake system. If this condition were to occur while the vehicle was stationary (brakes applied) the air brakes would remain applied and prevent the vehicle from moving. If this were to occur while the vehicle was in motion, the dual system air pressure gauges would register the drop in pressure, which could trigger the low air pressure warning buzzer and illuminate the warning indicator lamp. If these warnings are ignored and there is continued loss of pressure, the rear spring brakes would automatically apply, preventing the truck from being driven. Correction: Dealers will replace the air compressor head.
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 2007137.

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 GMC: 561 in the register, and 420 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2007.
