The American register

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

On certain school buses, the fuel line (between the fuel/water separator and the engine) may contact the hydraulic brake lines, causing abrasion damage which could result in a brake fluid leak. This could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel and brake lines.
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 2011368.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read.

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 Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2, 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 Thomas Built: 214 in the register, and 442 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2011.
