Ford TRANSIT CONNECT in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Ford TRANSIT CONNECT is named on 21 American notices, 11 British and 10 European. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register
The British register
The European 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.

*** This action is a Customer Satisfaction Campaign and is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act.***
On certain vehicles, the headliner pushpin at the B-pillar may not absorb sufficient energy to conform to the U.S specific regulatory requirement for unbelted occupant protection in an interior impact. In the event of a crash, the headliner pushpin in this location may not provide the interior impact protection intended, increasing the risk of injury. Although Canadian vehicles comply with all Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, Ford Motor Company of Canada is voluntarily conducting this customer satisfaction program to reassure Transit Connect owners.
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 2010228.

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 Ford Transit Connect, 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 Ford: 1,346 in the register, and 468 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2010.
