The two registers are 1 day 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 16V091, 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 school buses, the hood latch straps used to latch the hood closed may become elongated and not return to their original specified length. This could cause the hood latch to not stay in the latched position while driving, and/or the hood opening unexpectedly during vehicle braking, which could could compromise the driveru2019s ability to see the road and its users. These issues could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the suspect hood latch straps with certified hood latch straps.
