On certain buses, the Megafuse junction box is located in an area exposed to excessive road splash and spray. In some applications the cable connections may corrode rapidly. If undetected, extreme corrosion may cause a power cable to become separated from the power source resulting in an unexpected engine shutdown or loss of vehicle lighting and windshield wipers. Unexpected engine shutdown or a loss of vehicle lighting and windshield wipers in certain traffic conditions could increase the potential of a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the Megafuse junction block and electrical box.
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 2010297.

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 Thomas Built: 214 in the register, and 468 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2010.
