On certain trucks, both vertical front spring bracket bolts on the right hand or left hand front spring hanger bracket could become loose and cause increased stress on the spring bracket itself. As a result, the spring bracket may crack, causing reduced steering responsiveness. Depending on traffic conditions and the driver's reactions, this could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death.
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 2008155.

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 notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Hino 268, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Hino: 47 in the register, and 458 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2008.
