On certain trailers equipped with SAF-Holland CBX Series Suspensions, the suspension assembly pivot bolts, which join the suspension tower and trailing arm assemblies, could fail. This could result in the pivot bolt head separating from the pivot bolt body, potentially causing the suspension tower and trailing arm assemblies to disassemble during trailer operations, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the pivot bolts.
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 2014450.

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: 591 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2014.
