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

On certain buses, there may be increased friction in the centre axle brake caliper guide pin due to a manufacturing defect. If undetected, this could cause the breakage of the guide pin bolt, irregular brake pad wear, and brake pad contact with the surface of the wheel. This could result in reduced braking force, a loss of tire pressure to an inner tire on the dual-wheeled center axle and possibly reduced parking brake functionality, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Customers will be supplied with a repair kit and directions to recondition both centre axle brake calipers.
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 2018312.

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 New Flyer Xde60, 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 New Flyer: 70 in the register, and 704 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2018.
