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

On certain vehicles, the hydraulic hoses that operate the leveling jack system have been routed too close to the engine exhaust system. The hot exhaust can cause the hydraulic hoses to melt or abrade, releasing hydraulic fluid. This hydraulic fluid, ignited by a heat source, can cause a fire. Correction: Dealer will relocate the hydraulic hoses.
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 2003229.

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 Fleetwood Pace Arrow, 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 Fleetwood: 137 in the register, and 350 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2003.
