Transport Canada carries this recall as 2020633, dated 21 December 2020. The American register carries the same defect as campaign 20V795, dated 17 December 2020. They are the same defect because the manufacturer filed both under one internal campaign code, 20S73.

The two registers are 4 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 20V795, 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 vehicles, the insulation for the engine cover may not be positioned correctly. As a result, some surfaces inside the vehicle could get hot while the engine is running. rnrnSafety Risk: rnIf a person touches a hot surface, there could be a risk of a burn injury. rnrnCorrective Actions: rnFord will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the engine cover for gaps between the rubber seal and the insulation. If gaps are found, the dealer will install engine cover insulation patches, as necessary. The dealer will also update the powertrain software on vehicles equipped with Stationary Elevated Idle Control (SEIC) or Battery Charge Protect (BCP).
