The American register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain propane-powered school buses, fittings used on various propane lines could fail. Should this occur, pressure inside the propane lines would cause the hoses to completely separate from the fittings. In the event of propane line failure, the fuel system is designed to prevent propane leakage using various safety mechanisms to cut off fuel supply to the engine, thereby minimizing the amount of fuel release, as well as the risk of a fire or an explosion. However, loss of propane fuel supply would result in engine stalling which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: CleanFuel USA technicians will replace the propane fittings.
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 2011340.

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 Blue Bird Vision 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 Blue Bird: 242 in the register, and 442 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2011.
