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 2024123, recorded 23 February 2024 (within a week of the American filing)
- European Union: Safety Gate alert A12/01224/24, published 17 May 2024, raised by Germany (the Commission’s own page) (3 months after the American filing)
Matched on 24S10, 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.
