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

Issue:
On a small number of fifth wheel RV trailers, the tail lamps may be mounted too high. As a result, the tail lamps, brake lights and turn signals may be difficult to see. Canadian regulations have a maximum mounting height for tail lamps.Safety Risk:
Tail lamps that are difficult to see could make the trailer less visible and cause a following driver not to recognize that the vehicle is braking or turning. This could increase the risk of a crash.Corrective Actions:
DRV will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your trailer to a dealership to inspect, and if necessary, install two 4" lights with a reflective flange in the bottom area of the rear cap.
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 2022480.

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 DRV Mobile Suite, 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 DRV: 12 in the register, and 637 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2022.
