On certain semi-trailers, the spindle nut may not have received adequate tightening torque during vehicle assembly. Incorrectly tightened spindle nuts can result in excessive end-play in the wheel-end system, and could result in a wheel separation. A wheel separating from the trailer could cause a loss of control and a crash. In addition, the errant wheel assembly could strike a vehicle, property, or a bystander. Both problems could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the wheel ends and tighten the spindle nuts 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 2011049.

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 Great Dane: 16 in the register, and 442 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2011.
