Transport Canada carries this recall as 2009302, dated 19 October 2009. The American register carries the same defect as campaign 15V079, dated 9 February 2015. They are the same defect because the manufacturer filed both under one internal campaign code, CR1430.

The two registers are 1,939 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 15V079, 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.

On certain vehicles, the brake hoses may not have been properly crimped during the fabrication process. As such, the crimping rings may exhibit cracks that weaken the integrity of the hose connection, causing a separation of the hose from the connector. Should separation occur, a drop in pneumatic pressure could occur, resulting in a partial or complete loss of braking efficiency. This could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect the crimping rings and, if necessary, replace the brake hoses.
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 2009302.
