A corrective action is defined as an action taken to eliminate or mitigate the cause of a system deficiency, hazard or risk (e.g. will fix an existing event) or it is an action (commonly referred to as a preventive action) taken to reduce the likelihood that an underlying system deficiency or hazard will cause a similar event (e.g. will fix a potential event).
