Everything that slows the vehicle down: pads, discs, drums, hoses, the master cylinder, the handbrake, and the electronics that pump the brakes for you in an emergency stop.
A brake recall does not usually mean the brakes stop working. Far more often it is a hose that can rub against a bracket over several years, a warning lamp that does not light when it should, or a batch of pads that wear faster than the standard allows. The repair is nearly always quick and nearly always free.
How often it appears
The Canadian register carries 1,777 notices filed under Brakes, between 1975 and 2026. The phrase is Transport Canada's own; the explanation above is this site's.
