Transport Canada carries this recall as 2016555, dated 9 November 2016. The American register carries the same defect as campaign 16V102, dated 23 February 2016. They are the same defect because the manufacturer filed both under one internal campaign code, MC1603.

The two registers are 260 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 16V102, 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 steering damper bracket's mounting bolts may have been over torqued during assembly. This could cause the bolts to potentially break, which could result in the steering damper bracket to detach from the frame. If the bracket were to detach from the frame, it would affect steering control, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the steering damper bracket mounting bolts. Note: In the interim, owners are advised to stop riding their motorcycles until the defect has been repaired.
