The American register
The European register

A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain motorcycles, a porous engine crankcase could allow oil to leak from the machined area at the starter mounting point and pool on top of the crankcase. The oil could then spill onto the rear tire, which may render the vehicle unstable. This could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will apply an epoxy sealer to the affected area of the engine crankcase.
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 2012267.

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 Kawasaki: 145 in the register, and 444 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2012.
