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

Certain motorcycles may experience fifth gear galling on the clutch shaft due to lack of lubrication, which could allow the gear to seize to the shaft, resulting in rear wheel lock-up. This, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the rider's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash, causing personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will add an oil jet to the clutch shaft in order to increase lubrication to the fifth gear journal.
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 2008217.

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 Buell: 36 in the register, and 458 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2008.
