On certain buses, contacts in the pressure switch for the low current brake lamp signal to the chassis Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may become contaminated by the presence of silicone used during assembly. Over time insulating deposits may build up on the contacts and affect the operation of the brake lamp signal to the chassis ECU, thereby preventing brake lamp illumination. Failure to clearly indicate intentions to following motorists could result in a vehicle crash causing injuries or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the pressure switch "A" module in the Air Management Unit (AMU).
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 2008416.

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 Freightliner Custom Chassis (fccc): 64 in the register, and 458 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2008.
