On certain vehicles that were modified with dual steering controls for use as street sweepers, the brake re-certification was not performed after the modification for the dual steering system. The operation of a vehicle with incorrect air brake apply/release timing may result in reduced braking performance, which could lead to a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install a brake timing kit.

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 Elgin Sweeper: 11 in the register, and 468 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2010.
