Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Issue:
This recall is for accessory brake levers sold as aftermarket equipment. On certain motorcycles, the adjustment screw on the aftermarket brake lever was set incorrectly. This could cause the front brake to stay on. A front brake that does not release may cause brake wear and could overheat. This problem could also cause a rider to use more throttle than normal and make it unstable in turns.
Note: This is a voluntary recall that is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act.Safety Risk:
An overheated front brake may not work properly and could cause increased stopping distances or cause the motorcycle to be unstable. This could increase the risk of a crash.Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to replace the aftermarket brake lever with the new part, or to install the original brake lever.
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 2019187.

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 Indian Motorcycle: 30 in the register, and 594 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2019.
