On certain ATVs, trail debris encountered during off-road operation can cause physical damage, in the form of tears or punctures, to the Constant Velocity (CV) joint rubber boots located on the front driveshaft assemblies. If the integrity of the CV boot is compromised, dirt and other debris can contaminate the internals. Typically, the contaminants cause accelerated wear, resulting in abnormal noise and vibration, and could eventually cause the joint to bind. A binding CV joint could result in the operator being unable to fully control the steering, which could lead to a crash in which the operator could be injured or killed. Correction: Dealers will replace both front driveshaft assemblies.
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 2008205.

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 Honda: 362 in the register, and 458 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2008.
