On certain trucks, improper installation procedures may have damaged one or both locking tabs on the rear wheel spindle nut during vehicle assembly. Damage to the locking clip tabs reduces the nut's ability to resist rotation possibly allowing the nut to back off and the dual wheel set to become separated from the vehicle. If this happens, the vehicle may become difficult to control, leading to a crash with injury or death. In addition, the separated wheel assembly may pose a risk to other road users or bystanders. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace damaged spindle nuts.
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 2007250.

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 Sterling: 84 in the register, and 420 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2007.
