On certain Michelin and/or Uniroyal tires, installed on fifth-wheel trailers, the tire tread belt edge may begin to separate from the tire. This would result in ride vibration or irregular wear, and could lead to a loss of tread or rapid loss of air pressure. Tire failure could cause the driver to lose vehicle control, which may result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Also, during tire failure, pieces could become separated from the rim and could strike a vehicle, property, or a bystander. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Retailers will replace affected tires.
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 2012313.

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 Newmar: 169 in the register, and 444 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2012.
