Certain motorhomes equipped with a Cummins ISX,14.9L (600hp engine), along with a Chelsa-Parker Power Take-Off (PTO) and a Sauer Danfoss Power Steering Pump, have the potential for a loss of power steering hydraulic assist. The defect is the result of "fretting corrosion" between the male and female spline coupling of both the PTO assembly and the Fan Drive Hydraulic Pump. As the fretting corrosion worsens the coupling will no longer transmit torque to the fan drive pump. Since the power steering pump is coupled to the fan drive pump, it also loses drive torque and therefore provides no steering assist. Loss of power assist can create an unsafe driving condition and could result in a vehicle crash causing personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the Fan Drive Hydraulic Pump & the transmission mounted dry spline Power Take-off with a wet spline Power take-off and relocate the engine Power steering Pump to the engine Power steering Mechanical Drive Pad at no cost to owner.

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: 458 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2008.
