Transport Canada carries this recall as 2016577, dated 17 November 2016. The American register carries the same defect as campaign 16V784, dated 27 October 2016. They are the same defect because the manufacturer filed both under one internal campaign code, 161018REV.

The two registers are 21 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 16V784, 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 motorhomes, the front truss may have inadequate support at its attachment points, which could cause it to sag. If wire harnesses or hydraulic lines are routed between the truss and its supporting framework, they could become pinched or crushed. If the wire harness were to be damaged, it could result in an electrical short, which could result in intermittent operation of electrical systems, a possible vehicle u201cshut downu201d and may result in loss of vehicle control. If the hydraulic lines were to be damaged, it may cause a hydraulic fluid leak. Both of these conditions could increase the risk of a fire increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will add additional steel to properly support the front truss. The hydraulic hoses and electrical wiring will be inspected and relocated if necessary.
