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

On certain school buses, the brake pressure switch was made using an incorrect material that could swell when exposed to brake fluid. This could result in the switch becoming stuck in the on position and cause the brake warning light to illuminate. While the brake system would continue to function normally, an operator may be required to stop the vehicle and transfer occupants to another bus. This could create a hazardous situation with students near the roadway for an indeterminate amount of time, and expose them to an increased risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the lot code on the brake pressure switch and replace as necessary. Note: This problem would set fault code 33-520941-5.
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 2018713.

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 Ic Bus: 116 in the register, and 704 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2018.
