Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read.

This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Thomas Built: 214 in the register, and 141 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1985.
