The American register

Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Issue:
A small number of motorhomes were incorrectly manufactured with four seat belts, whereas only driver and front passenger seat belts should have been installed. As a result, the cargo carrying capacity would be incorrect, as the weight of each belted seating position is included in that calculation. This could lead to overloading of the motorhome and cause poor handling or a tire failure.Safety Risk:
Overloading of the motorhome could cause a loss of control and result in a crash.Corrective Actions:
None of the affected motorhomes have been delivered to customers. Forest River will instruct dealers to remove two seat belts that are installed into the theater seating before the motorhomes are delivered.
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 2023535.

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 notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Coachmen Concord, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Coachmen: 102 in the register, and 593 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2023.
