The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

N172CX was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 172N (serial 17269442, cancelled December 17, 2019). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
