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 25V835, 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 a small number of vehicles, the wrong wheel bolts may have been installed. As a result, the wheel bolt(s) can loosen and cause the wheel(s) to detach. rnrnSafety Risk: rnA wheel separation could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a wheel that separates could create a road hazard for others. rnrnCorrective Actions: rnTo reduce the safety risk, Volkswagen advises you not to drive the vehicle until the recall repairs have been completed. None of the affected vehicles have been delivered to customers. Volkswagen will instruct dealers to inspect and, if necessary, replace the incorrect wheel bolt(s) before the vehicles are delivered.
