Transport Canada carries this recall as 2015405, dated 15 September 2015. The American register carries the same defect as campaign 15V550, dated 1 September 2015. They are the same defect because the manufacturer filed both under one internal campaign code, MC1510.
| Canada | United States | |

The two registers are 14 days 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 15V550, 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 motorcycles, the ignition switch wires could chafe against the bottom of the fuel tank creating an electrical short. This could cause the engine to stall without warning resulting in a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the ignition switch for damaged wires and replace them as necessary. Additional shielding and padding will be installed.

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 register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Kawasaki: 145 in the register, and 620 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2015.
