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 14V681, 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 equipped with an Auto-park brake feature, the parking brake may apply unintentionally when the vehicle experiences a severe road vibration, such as travelling over a highway rumble strip at highways speeds. This severe vibration may cause air to pass through the solenoid valve, resulting in increased air pressure to the control port and potentially causing the dash-mounted park brake valve to pop out, causing an unintended park brake application without brake light illumination. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the auto-park solenoid valve and its mounting bracket.
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 2014483.
