Ford FIESTA in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Ford FIESTA is named on 9 American notices, 29 British, 14 European and 8 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register
The British register
The European register
The Israeli register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Issue:
On certain cars, water and road debris can enter the battery junction box. This could result in corrosion of some electrical components. If this happens, the low beam headlights and daytime running lights could turn off while driving. This recall applies to cars originally sold or currently registered in areas of heavy road salt usage (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador).Safety Risk:
A loss of low beam headlights and/or daytime running lights would reduce visibility. This could increase the risk of a crash.Corrective Actions:
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their car to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to service the battery junction box. The dealer will clean the battery junction box, install foam sealing to the cover, and replace any corroded fuses, terminals or relays.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2019432.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Ford Fiesta, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Ford: 1,346 in the register, and 594 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2019.
