A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain vehicles, the caliper mounting fasteners attaching the air disc brake caliper assembly to the torque plate may have received insufficient tightening torque during the assembly process. Insufficient torque may allow the caliper mounting fasteners and/or the caliper itself to become loose. This could cause the brake on the affected wheel end to become inoperable. Extended stopping distance could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace caliper mounting fasteners and inspect the caliper assembly.
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 2009145.

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 Kenworth T660, 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 Kenworth: 263 in the register, and 368 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2009.
