Transport Canada carries this recall as 2017517, dated 24 October 2017. The American register carries the same defect as campaign 17V669, dated 23 October 2017. They are the same defect because the manufacturer filed both under one internal campaign code, 17S35.

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 17V669, 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 vehicles equipped with a 3.3L V6 engine, 6-speed transmission and a column mounted gear shift lever, rapid movement of the transmission shifter from Park to Drive may cause loss of PRNDL gear indication in the instrument cluster, and momentary engagement of Reverse operation before the vehicle achieves forward Drive function. This could result in unintended vehicle movement, or alternatively, an operator may experience momentary Neutral operation rather than Reverse. Unintended vehicle movement may increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Powertrain Control Module with new software.
