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:
On 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.Safety Risk:
An oil leak onto a hot exhaust system could cause a fire.Corrective Actions:
Do 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.
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 2019670.

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 register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Kawasaki: 145 in the register, and 594 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2019.
