On certain ATVs, a weld securing the front differential cross pin can break, which could cause the front differential and front wheels to lock up. Depending on vehicle speed at the time this occurs, it could result in a loss of vehicle control, cause the ATV to tip over forward, or cause the rider to be thrown from the vehicle. These issues could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the front differential carrier assembly.
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 2014433.

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 Arctic Cat: 69 in the register, and 591 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2014.
