On certain trailers, the diaphragm for the Tramec Sloan 51102 quick release valve of the emergency air brake system can degrade and develop pin hole leaks under constant pressure, allowing air to escape. This could result in unintended gradual park/spring brake application, causing overheating or unintended spring brake application, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Cheetah will supply repair kits for the installation of heavy duty diaphragms in the quick release valves.
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 2017480.

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: 638 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2017.
