The American register
The Japanese register

Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain vehicles, insufficient clearance between the stop lamp switch wiring harness and the steering column support bracket may allow the harness to contact the bracket. The resultant chafe damage could, over time, cause an electrical short circuit, which may prevent the stop lamps from illuminating when the brakes are applied. It may also interrupt electrical power supply to the Engine Control Unit (ECU), causing the engine to stall. Failure of the brake lamps to illuminate when the brakes are applied may result in the following road users being unaware of the driver's intentions, increasing the risk of a crash. Engine stalling would result in lost vehicle propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, repair the wiring harness. A harness protector will also be added to prevent future contact.
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 2011256.

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 Hino: 47 in the register, and 442 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2011.
