Certain snowmobiles may experience fuel tank explosions under specific operating conditions. Should the vehicle be left idling in temperatures of less than -30 degrees Celsius, and with less than 50% relative humidity, electrostatic charges could accumulate on components within the fuel tank. At a certain level of electrostatic build-up, a discharge suddenly occurs, sparking in the vapour space volume of the partially filled tank, igniting a combustible mixture of gasoline and air. The resultant explosion could cause personal injury or death to a bystander or operator, as well as allowing fuel spillage, and possibly resulting in a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel line and filter assembly with a revised version having higher electric conductivity. This will allow a proper ground path for fuel system components to the chassis, thereby preventing electrostatic accumulation, and subsequent discharge.
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 2008113.

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 Ski-Doo: 80 in the register, and 458 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2008.
