On certain snowmobiles, the clevis-type pins used to prevent the steering idler arm nuts from falling off could dislodge. Without these clevis pins in place, the idler arm nuts could fall off if they become loose. If both nuts fall off, steering components could come apart, resulting in loss of control and a vehicle crash with injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the steering idler arm nuts and the clevis-type pins.
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 2007310.

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 Yamaha: 146 in the register, and 420 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2007.
