Firestone Transforce At Lt265/70R17. Published by Transport Canada as 2012042 on 3 February 2012. System: Tires.
What the notice says On certain tires, the sidewall marking incorrectly lists a maximum load of 1,350 kg instead of 1,320 kg. The rated maximum load in pounds is marked correctly. Correction: No corrective recall action is required as the technical non-compliance is deemed to be non-safety related.

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 Firestone: 10 in the register, and 444 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2012.
