Transport Canada carries this recall as 2016616, dated 12 December 2016. The American register carries the same defect as campaign 16V877, dated 6 December 2016. They are the same defect because the manufacturer filed both under one internal campaign code, I1603.

The two registers are 6 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 16V877, 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 fuel rail could shift positions and could contact other components and chafe, causing a fuel leak. Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a bracket that limits movement of the fuel rail. Additionally, dealers will inspect fuel rails for damage and replace as necessary.
