On certain vehicles converted for mobility-impaired persons, an incorrectly positioned brake hose support may cause undue wear to the passenger-side rear brake hose. This could cause the brake hose to fail, resulting in brake fluid leakage. If this occurs, the brake pedal stroke will increase and the brake warning lamp will eventually illuminate indicating low brake fluid level. A brake fluid leak could cause increased stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the passenger-side rear brake hose. In cases where horizontal clearance is insufficient (during rear suspension travel) the support bracket will be adjusted.
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 2011021.

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: 442 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2011.
