On certain vehicles, the front suspension's right side upper A-arm bolt could loosen if not tightened properly during vehicle assembly. Should the bolt loosen and fall out the A-arm could dislodge, which could result in poor steering characteristics and could lead to a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will remove the right upper A-arm bolt, apply thread-lock agent to its threads, then reinstall and tighten to proper torque specifications.

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 Yamaha: 146 in the register, and 368 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2009.
