On certain motorhomes built on RAM Promaster chassis, the modifications done to the exhaust system to accommodate the Continental Kit (CK) could cause the chassis wiring and bumper to extremely high temperatures. If anyone was to come in contact with the rear bumper shortly after the vehicle was operated it could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will install a new tailpipe to redirect the exhaust down, away and out from under the vehicle.
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 2017431.

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 Hymer Aktiv, 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: 638 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2017.
