Orion VI in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Orion VI is named on 7 American notices. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.

Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country.

Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain vehicles equipped with TRW 24-DL socket assemblies. Certain drag links and front axle tie rods may contain bearing surfaces that have a less than specified case depth and/or hardness. These ball stud and socket assemblies may wear out prematurely, resulting in a separation of the ball stud from the socket. This may cause a full or partial loss of steering control and possible crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will replace all affected drag link assemblies and only the ball stud socket assemblies on the tie rods.
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 2002227.

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 Orion: 52 in the register, and 246 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2002.
