I agree with previous comments about Correction being the short-term solution and Corrective action, on the other hand, is a long-term solution. Correction is taken to rectify a known nonconformance and Corrective Action is taken to prevent recurrence of said nonconformance.

I would like to illustrate this with simple examples of these 2 related concepts that are easy to remember: a crack pipe led to water leakage on the floor. Here correction would mean clean the water damage. corrective action means not only to fix the pipe but also find the cause for the broken pipe so that the pipe won’t break in the future.
