The pattern worth knowing: three campaigns mirror across both countries — the 2025 MG3 seat recall, the 2023 HS heater-ground fire risk, and the 2021 MG3 fuel-tank bolts. If a recall lands in one market, treat it as a prompt to check the same model in yours; registers don’t always update on the same day.
