On certain 2008 and 2009 gravel pony pup trailers, including two prototype units released in 2005, the frame may develop fatigue cracks at the frame transition pipe. These cracks may occur at the welded connection of the vertical cylinder mounting plates to the transition pipe, and at a gusset on the backside of the transition pipe. Should these cracks be allowed to propagate, they could eventually lead to a separation of the transition parts from the trailer pole, causing severe damage to the trailer, and possible injury to the operator or bystanders. Correction: Dealers will reinforce the structure in the affected area.
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 2008115.

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 Doepker: 13 in the register, and 458 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2008.
