Transport Canada carries this recall as 1982009, dated 19 January 1982. The American register carries the same defect as campaign 16V862, dated 30 November 2016. They are the same defect because the manufacturer filed both under one internal campaign code, SC142.

The two registers are 12,734 days 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 16V862, 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.
