On certain vehicles, the fasteners attaching the steering gear to the front drive bracket may have received insufficient torque at assembly, resulting in less than the required clamp load. Insufficient clamp load may allow the fastener (s) to become loose and fall away from vehicle. If multiple fasteners were to become loose, the steering may wander resulting in possible loss of control which could result in a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect fasteners, replace if necessary and torque them to specifications.
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 2009368.

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 T2000, 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.
