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

On certain vehicles, a lock nut that secures the right-hand side tie rod assembly to the steering gear assembly may not have been tightened properly during the assembly process. Over time, this could cause the lock nut to loosen which could cause the vehicle to drift left and right and eventually cause the tie rod to separate for the steering gear assembly, resulting in a loss of steering control. This situation could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the right hand side tie rod lock nut. If the nut is found to be loose, Dealer will replace the lock nut, steering gear assembly and the tie rod assembly.
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 2017324.

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 Lexus: 109 in the register, and 638 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2017.
