On certain side-by-side UTVs, the splash panels located behind the driver and passenger seats could melt, potentially resulting in a fire. This could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the plastic splash panels behind both the operator and passenger seat with revised ones with added heat reflective material, as well as replace the current aluminium exhaust head pipe shield with a new stainless steel head pipe shield equipped with a better insulator material. Additionally, dealers will ensure the spark plug caps are properly and fully inserted into the engine. Note: In the interim, owners are advised to stop riding their UTV until the defect has been repaired.
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 2017510.

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: Canadian recalls on a Arctic Cat: 69 in the register, and 638 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2017.
