Certain tires may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 139 — New Radial Ply Tires for Motor Vehicles With a GVWR of 4 536 kg or less. During endurance compliance testing, the tires did not meet the requirements of the low inflation pressure performance portion of the standard due to tread chunking. This could result in tire noise and/or ride vibration. If the tires are operated in this condition for an extended period of time it could lead to tire failure, which could increase the risk of loss of vehicle control and/or a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace affected tires with similar tires that conform to the standard.
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 2016408.

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.
