BMW 7 SERIES in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. BMW 7 SERIES is named on 33 British notices and 6 European. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The British register
The European register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain 750IL vehicles, during the assembly process, the gas pedal may not have been properly attached to the floor pan. If the gas pedal is operated in a rough or erratice manner, it may become stuck between the gas pedal stop (on the floor pan) and the carpeting on the transmission tunnel. If this occurs, the pedal might not return fully to the idle position when the driver's foot is removed and loss of control could result. Application of the brake pedal will close the throttle on this model of vehicle. Correction: Accelerator pedal will be inspected and tightened to the floor is required. Also, a modified pedal stop will be installed.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1989046.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the BMW 7-Series, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a BMW: 449 in the register, and 178 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1989.
