International 4000 in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. International 4000 is named on 5 American notices. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. 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 vehicles, the front wheel bearings may not have received sufficient lubrication during assembly. This could cause the bearings to overheat, which may result in spalling, seizing, and eventual breakdown. Such damage could cause a wheel fire, wheel lockup, or wheel separation, which could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash. Should a wheel separate from the vehicle, it could pose a danger to nearby motorists or bystanders, which could result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace and/or properly lubricate the front axle wheel bearings.
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 2008099.

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 an International: 314 in the register, and 458 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2008.
