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

On certain vehicles, the friction material could separate from the brake shoes because of an improper adhesive-curing process during manufacture. If such separation occurs during operation, braking ability with the rear wheel will be reduced or lost. This could result in the loss of control and an accident with injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the rear brake shoes.

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: Canadian recalls on a Yamaha: 146 in the register, and 449 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2004.
