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

On certain travel trailers, the safety chain installed during the A frame manufacturing process have a load rating of 11 700 lbs. when the correct load rating of the safety chain should be 16 200 lbs. Underrated safety chains may break under normal use, increasing the risk of trailer separation from the tow vehicle which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the 11 700 lbs safety chains with some 16 200 lbs safety chains.

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 Jayco Eagle, 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 Jayco: 211 in the register, and 704 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2018.
