Check with your VIN at Transport Canada , or ask a dealer. This page is an independent copy of the notice, kept so you can see what changed after it was published. It is not the authority, and the authority’s own text is the one to act on. Transport Canada carries this recall as 2016138 , dated 31 March 2016. The American register carries the same defect as campaign 16V183 , dated 31 March 2016. They are the same defect because the manufacturer filed both under one internal campaign code, 16S14 . Number 2016138 16V183 Dated 31 March 2016 31 March 2016 Register Transport Canada NHTSA Make Lincoln 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 date",
