Chrysler TOWN & COUNTRY in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Chrysler TOWN & COUNTRY is named on 4 European notices. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The European register
- EU Safety Gate alert A12/1974/13: Chrysler / Dodge Town & Country / Grand Caravan, notified by Germany
- EU Safety Gate alert A12/1010/15: Chrysler, Dodge Journey, Grand Caravan, Town & Country, notified by Germany
- EU Safety Gate alert A12/1113/16: Chrysler Town & Country, Grand Voyager, notified by Germany
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain vehicles, a defect may cause the transmission pump rotor to seize or break, resulting in a loss of transmission pressure. This could result in a loss of motive power which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions may increase the risk of a crash causing injury. Correction: dealers will replace the transmission pump assembly.
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 2016306.

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 notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Dodge Grand Caravan, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Chrysler: 279 in the register, and 644 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2016.
