On certain golf cars, personal transportation, and specialty vehicles, the accelerator pedal return spring may break. If this happens, the accelerator would not return to the home position when released, so the vehicle may not slow without use of the brakes, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the accelerator pedal spring with a new stronger type.
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 2018557.

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 Yamaha: 146 in the register, and 704 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2018.
