On certain tires, a separation may develop between the tread belts. This could cause vibration and irregular tire wear in the early stages of separation. If unaddressed, this condition could contribute to a tread/belt separation and/or rapid loss of inflation pressure which may increase the risk of tire failure and a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers 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 2014479.

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.
