Issue:
On certain trailers, a plastic spacer (called a wheel-saver or wheel guard) was installed between the two wheels or between the brake drum and the wheel. These wheel-savers may melt due to the high heat generated by the brakes. As a result, a wheel could become loose and separate from the vehicle.
Note: This recall only affects certain trailers equipped with FleetSpec wheel-savers.Safety Risk:
A wheel separation could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. A wheel that separates could also hit another person or vehicle.Corrective Action:
K-Line Trailers will notify owners by mail and instruct you to remove or remove and replace the FleetSpec wheel-savers as soon as possible. The company recommends that you should check the wheel nut torque daily and, in particular, any time after driving with high brake temperatures, until the wheel-savers are removed or replaced.
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 2021384.

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: 658 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2021.
