Both registers carry the same date for this defect.
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 22V707, 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 radiator may not be attached correctly. As a result, a coolant hose could be damaged by contact with the serpentine belt pulley and create a coolant leak. If this happens, coolant could spill onto the road and cause a red warning light to turn on in the instrument cluster. If you ignore the warning light and continue driving, the engine could overheat. rnrnSafety Risk: rnA coolant leak could create a hazard for other road users. Additionally, an engine that overheats could create the risk of a fire. rnrnCorrective Action: rnVolkswagen will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to ensure that the radiator is attached correctly. If it is loose, the coolant hose and serpentine belt will also be checked for damage, and replaced if necessary.
