Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

THE FRONT OUTER DOOR HANDLES CAN PREMATURELY FAIL AT THE POINT WHERE THE HANDLE CONNECTS TO THE ROD THAT ACTIVATES THE DOOR LOCK. IF THE ROD WERE TO FALL INBOARD INTO THE PATH OF THE WINDOW GLAZING, LOWERING THE WINDOW COULD RESULT IN PRESSURE ON THE ROD AND COULD CAUSE THE DOOR TO INADVERTENTLY OPEN IF UNLOCKED.
CORRECTION: A SAFETY SHIELD WILL BE INSTALLED BETWEEN THE OUTER SURFACE OF THE WINDOW GLAZING AND THE DOOR HANDLE OPERATING MECHANISM.

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 register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Mazda: 204 in the register, and 202 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1994.
