Ford GALAXY in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Ford GALAXY is named on 14 European notices and 2 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The European register
The Israeli register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.
Ford elsewhere in this register
Ford is named on 371 notices in the copy of the DVSA’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

Reading this against the source
This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
