The two registers are 1 day apart: the Canadian entry is dated first, the American one second.
These are the dates each register records against its own notice. They are separate administrative acts in two countries, recorded by two authorities under two sets of rules, and this page does not claim that one caused the other or that owners in either country were contacted on those days. What it shows is that the same manufacturer campaign reached the two registers on different dates.
Read the American notice 25V361, including every earlier version of its wording this site holds. The Canadian register explains why the manufacturer code is published there and what that makes possible. Canada and America sets every matched pair side by side.

Issue: rnOn certain school buses, the latch for the rear emergency exit may not work properly. As a result, the emergency exit could stay locked. This could prevent occupants from using the emergency exit and/or delay occupants from escaping the bus in an emergency. rn rnSafety Risk: rnAn emergency exit that can't be opened could slow your exit from the bus in an emergency. This could increase the risk of injury. rn rnCorrective Actions: rnTo reduce the safety risk, Forest River advises you not to lock the rear emergency exit until the recall repairs have been completed. Forest River will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your school bus to a dealership to replace the rear emergency exit latch.
