Transport Canada carries this recall as 2019670, dated 23 December 2019. The American register carries the same defect as campaign 22V850, dated 17 November 2022. They are the same defect because the manufacturer filed both under one internal campaign code, 22523.

The two registers are 1,060 days apart: the Canadian entry is dated first, the American 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 22V850, 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.

Issue: rnOn certain side-by-side UTV's, the owner's manual instructs users to inspect and clean the air cleaner/breather tube regularly. If this is not done, water in the catch tank and breather tube can freeze and block the tube. This can cause increased pressure in the engine crankcase, and result in an oil leak from the engine head area, near the exhaust system.rnrnSafety Risk: rnAn oil leak onto a hot exhaust system could cause a fire.rn rnCorrective Actions: rnDo not drive your side-by-side UTV until the recall repairs have been completed. Kawasaki will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to eliminate the catch tank and install an additional exhaust manifold cover.
