On certain ATVs, the engine may fail to shut off when pulling the cord from the accessory tether engine shut-off switch post installed on these race-ready vehicles. If this occurs in situations where the rider is ejected, the vehicle may run away uncontrolled until the engine gets back to idle. This situation may lead to a collision with bystanders or other vehicles which could cause serious personal injuries or death. Correction: Dealers will remove the tether engine shut-off switch assembly and its cord.

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 Can-Am: 56 in the register, and 458 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2008.
