This is sometimes caused by corruption in the International settings that determine Date&Time formats.


To attempt a fix, open System Preferences > Language&Region

choose an standard date&time format other than your own, (e.g., if American, choose British and vice versa) close the window and save changes.

Open System Preferences > Language&Region again.

choose the standard date&time format you want to keep. Close the window and save changes.


Test.
