On certain vehicles equipped with a 7-speed Auto-Shift Manual (ASM) transmission, due to a lack of support, a connector in the hydraulic system could fail and cause a transmission fluid leak. If this occurs, the driver would be unable to change gears which could, under certain circumstances, increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a support bracket to hold the hydraulic line in position to prevent movement of the 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 2017340.

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 Aston Martin Vantage, 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 an Aston Martin: 28 in the register, and 638 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2017.
