On certain vehicles, a "U" series Weatherhead crimp type hose was substituted in place of a "P" series type fitting during the manufacturing process. This combination of a non approved fitting with an approved hose is a noncompliance to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS). The noncompliance air brake hose assembly was only used on rear axle brake chambers in a rear axle position when an axle suspension was installed. If a hose failure occurred it may cause a sudden application of the brakes and could cause a loss of control. Correction: Dealer will replace hoses.
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 2008351.

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 Kalmar: 10 in the register, and 458 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2008.
