On certain trailers with a GVWR rating of 5,000 pounds or less, using a 2” A Frame coupler, the latch set nut on the underside of the locking mechanism on some of the couplers may have been over-tightened during manufacturing. If the external locking mechanism latch is not fully engaged, it could allow the coupler to disengage while the trailer is in transit. A towed unit separating from the towing vehicle could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or bystander, causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the A-Frame coupler, and repair as necessary.
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 2015385.

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: 620 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2015.
