Transport Canada carries this recall as 2014390, dated 9 September 2014. The American register carries the same defect as campaign 14V553, dated 11 September 2014. They are the same defect because the manufacturer filed both under one internal campaign code, SC0383.

The two registers are 2 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 14V553, 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, bolts securing the seat belts to the seat frame, cab wall and cab floor may have been insufficiently tightened during vehicle assembly. As a result, bolts could loosen over time and potentially allow the seat belt to detach from its mounting points. If this occurs, the seat belt may fail to restrain the seat occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will tighten the affected bolts to the specified torque.
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 2014390.
