On certain motorhomes, the fasteners that secure the trailer hitch to the chassis may have been improperly torqued during installation. An improperly torqued nut and bolt may result the hitch dropping loose on one side of the chassis, which may cause a potential loss of vehicle control. If all of the fasteners were to fail, the hitch could detach from the motorhome and become a road hazard, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a new and improved fastener kit and ensure proper torque.
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 2016399.

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 Forest River: 239 in the register, and 644 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2016.
