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

On certain travel trailers, the electric brake wiring may have been routed too close to the center spring hanger of the axles. This could cause the wiring to catch or chafe against the spring hanger, and sever the wire. If the brake wire were to be severed for one of the axles, braking would be lost on that axle, which would increase stopping distances, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will relocate and clamp the wires out of the travel of the spring hanger and shackle.
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 2017535.

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 Heartland Trail Runner, 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 Heartland: 50 in the register, and 638 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2017.
