Certain infant car seats do not comply with the Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats Safety Regulations (RSSR). These infant car seats do not meet the dynamic testing requirements when used without the base. Also, labels affixed to the seat are not permanent. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: The manufacturer supply an addendum to the instruction manual and provide two new stickers that will be affixed to the seat, informing consumers to only use the infant car seat with the base.
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 2017498.

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.
