Chevrolet MALIBU in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Chevrolet MALIBU is named on 23 American notices and 18 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register
The Israeli register
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.

Certain passenger vehicles fail to conform to CMVSS 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." some of these vehicles were produced with a left low-beam headlamp that does not meet the photometric performance requirements of the standard. Light intensities below the minimum intensity requirements causes some reduction in visibility down the road for the driver of the vehicle and intensities above the maximum intensity requirements causes some increase in glare for drivers ahead of or approaching the vehicle. Correction: Dealers will inspect the left low-beam headlamp and replace it if it does not meet requirements.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2002069.

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 notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Chevrolet Malibu, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Chevrolet: 928 in the register, and 246 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2002.
