Transport Canada carries this recall as 2014253, dated 27 June 2014. The American register carries the same defect as campaign 14V377, dated 26 June 2014. They are the same defect because the manufacturer filed both under one internal campaign code, 14302.

The two registers are 1 day apart: the American entry is dated first, the Canadian 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 14V377, 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.
Chevrolet CORVETTE in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Chevrolet CORVETTE is named on 16 American notices, 6 British, 2 European and 29 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.

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.

On certain vehicles, an improper weld on the rear shock absorbers may lead to separation of the shock absorber tube from the shock absorber clevis bracket. If such a separation was to occur, a sudden change of vehicle handling behaviour would result that may startle drivers, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace both rear shock absorbers.
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 2014253.

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 Corvette, 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 591 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2014.
