The two registers are 1 day 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 16V291, 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.

Certain travel trailers were incorrectly equipped with axles rated for 1587 kg (3500 lbs) instead of 1995 kg (4400 lbs) during assembly. A vehicle equipped with incorrect axles could inadvertently be overloaded, which could cause the axle to fail, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the axles with the correct 1995 kg (4400 lbs) axles.
