Orion VII in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Orion VII is named on 7 American notices. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
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 buses equipped with a Recaro driver seat, the reverse mounted automatic locking retractors may not operate properly due to interference with the tether bar. This could prevent the driver’s seat belt locking pawl from functioning as intended, which could prevent the driver from being properly restrained. This could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Correction: Dealers will reorient the seat belt retractor and tether bar mounting to a standard configuration. The tether bar will also be shifted on the suspension by 50mm.
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 2015137.

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 Orion Vii, 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 Orion: 52 in the register, and 620 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2015.
