A short circuit could lead to injury and/or damage to property.Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to inspect the battery. If the vent valve is present, no action is required. If the vent valve is absent, the dealer must order a replacement battery and install the vent valve before returning to the owner. For unsold motorcycles, a battery vent valve will be installed prior to sale.

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 Husqvarna: 22 in the register, and 658 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2021.
