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 14V514, 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 steering gear may have been manufactured with an insufficient number of ball bearings. This could affect steering system function, or result in a loss of steering control, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the steering gear.
