Transport Canada carries this recall as 2024004, dated 9 January 2024. The American register carries the same defect as campaign 24V092, dated 8 February 2024. They are the same defect because the manufacturer filed both under one internal campaign code, CA000051.

The two registers are 30 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 24V092, 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 transit buses, the compressed natural gas (CNG) tanks could rub against the mounting structure and/or safety cables. As a result, the tanks could become damaged and rupture. rnrnSafety Risk: rnA CNG tank rupture can create a risk of an explosion or fire. rnrnCorrective Actions: rnVicinity Motor Corporation will notify owners in writing and arrange for a service team to inspect and, if necessary, repair or replace the CNG tanks. The service team will also inspect and adjust the CNG tanks mounting structure. If can't be adjusted, Vicinity Motor Corporation advises you to stop using the bus until replacement parts are available. The company will send you a second notice to arrange for a service team to replace the mounting structure when parts are available.
