Transport Canada carries this recall as 2014230, dated 12 June 2014. The American register carries the same defect as campaign 14V317, dated 12 June 2014. They are the same defect because the manufacturer filed both under one internal campaign code, 14235.

Both registers carry the same date for this defect.

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 14V317, 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.

Canada — Transport Canada, Vehicle Recalls Database
Certain vehicles may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 114 - Theft Protection and Rollaway Protection, and/or CMVSS 118 - Power-Operated Window, Partition and Roof Panel Systems. A wiring splice in the driver's door may corrode and break, allowing the power windows and sunroof (if equipped) to function temporarily with the key removed, increasing the risk of injury to unsupervised occupants. This could also disable the audible warning if the key is in the ignition, increasing the risk of theft and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers are to inspect the door wiring harness and install a splice if necessary.

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 2014230.
