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

On certain school buses, the wiring harness for the flashing lights (used while passengers are boarding or leaving the vehicle) may be undersized and could fail. Failure of the lights to illuminate would render a stopped bus less visible to other road users, which could increase the risk of a child or pedestrian being struck by a passing motorist, causing personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will add a 14-gauge wiring harness and relay between the switch and control board.
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 2011295.

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 Micro Bird G5 School Bus, 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 Micro Bird: 86 in the register, and 442 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2011.
