Transport Canada carries this recall as 2015006, dated 8 January 2015. The American register carries the same defect as campaign 15V004, dated 8 January 2015. They are the same defect because the manufacturer filed both under one internal campaign code, RC000097.

Both registers carry the same date for this defect.
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 15V004, 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.

On certain motorhomes outfitted with Carefree awnings, the screws that secure the awning to the mounting bracket can break. If the mounting bracket assembly were to break apart, the awning can collapse, which could strike another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the defective screws.
