On certain fifth wheel trailers, the isolating rubber boot, located atop electrical connectors within the towing harness, may not have been installed correctly during vehicle assembly. As such, depending which connector becomes exposed and shorts to ground, 1). An electrical short could occur, which could result in a vehicle fire, 2). Loss of driving lights may result in the driver's intentions to turn or brake not being conveyed clearly to other road users, as well as making the vehicle less conspicuous during hours of reduced visibility, 3). Loss of trailer braking function, which could extend stopping distances. All these conditions could result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect the rubber caps, and correct as needed.
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 2008232.

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 Jayco Jay Feather, 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 Jayco: 211 in the register, and 458 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2008.
