Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country.

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

On certain vehicles, incorrect bolts were used on the engine supports and have not been tightened to proper specifications. The bolts may wear prematurely and subsequently break. When some of the bolts break, vibration and noise is induced in the structure which will prompt the driver to check his vehicle. If all bolts were to break at same time, the engine will always be supported by one end of the structure and the other end will be supported by the drive shaft causing enormous vibration and noise alerting the driver to park his the vehicle immediately in a safe area. Correction: Dealers will replace the engine mount fasteners.
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 2010389.

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 Nova Bus LFS, 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 Nova Bus: 131 in the register, and 468 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2010.
