Nothing above is our paraphrase. Both columns are the agency’s own text; only the marking is ours.

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 2026360, recorded 23 July 2026 (within a week of the American filing)
Matched on 512077, 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.
