On certain buses equipped with Wabco Tristop park/spring brake actuators at time of assembly, or during subsequent servicing, the actuators used may have been incorrectly assembled by Wabco. This could cause the park/spring brake function of the actuator to fail, causing a loss of parking brake function at the wheel controlled by the actuator. This could increase the risk of a vehicle rollaway, potentially causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace affected actuators.
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 2016283.

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: 644 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2016.
