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

On certain school buses equipped with a Cummins ISB6.7 diesel engine, the engine fan pulley can fail. If this occurs, the belt would become detached from the water pump, which could cause the engine to overheat, potentially disabling the vehicle. If the bus is occupied when it becomes disabled, the occupants would need to exit the vehicle and be transferred to another vehicle, putting them at risk of injury. Correction: Cummins authorized service facilities will install an updated fan drive pulley.

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 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 444 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2012.
