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.

Certain 4900EX vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. Additional marker lamps between the required identification lamps and clearance lamps on top of the cab may have been installed during vehicle assembly. These additional lamps, located on the same horizontal line near the identification lamps, may make it difficult for other drivers to distinguish large vehicles under some conditions. Correction: Dealers will remove the additional lamps.
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 2008222.

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 Western Star 4900, 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 Western Star: 210 in the register, and 458 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2008.
