The same recall in other countries
This campaign carries a manufacturer code that also appears in another country’s register, which means the same defect was recalled there too.
- Canada: Transport Canada recall 2022392, recorded 21 July 2022 (within a week of the American filing)
- European Union: Safety Gate alert A12/01258/22, published 2 September 2022, raised by France (the Commission’s own page) (43 days after the American filing)
Matched on N720, the manufacturer’s own number for this campaign, which is the only field the registers share. Exact match, nothing paired on brand and date. The two dates are adjacent instruments rather than the same one, so a difference of a day or two means nothing.
