On certain buses, the tie rod end castle nuts used on certain front axle and steerable tag axles may not have been tightened to specification. If the castle nuts were to come completely loose, the steering linkage could separate without warning. This could result in a loss of steering control, Increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the castle nuts, and if necessary, tighten them to the proper specification. The tie rod end and arm will be replaced if damage is found.
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 2015123.

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 Mci: 82 in the register, and 620 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2015.
