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

Certain side-by-side UTV’s were manufactured with insufficient cargo box bracket fasteners which could become loose or dislodged. If this occurs, the bracket could move, allowing exhaust heat to overheat the seat close-off panel. This could result in a fire, potentially causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install an improved cargo box close-off bracket (close-off panel heat shield kit). Note: In the interim, owners are advised to stop riding their UTV until the defect has been repaired.
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 2016451.

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 register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Polaris: 197 in the register, and 644 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2016.
