BMW R1100S in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. BMW R1100S is named on 5 Japanese notices. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.

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 vehicles, an engine backfire during the starting process could cause either throttle body to loosen in its mount. If this happens, the fuel line leading to the right-hand fuel injector or the injector itself may be damaged or the line and injector may separate from each other. If this were to occur, fuel could be expelled from the line. Correction: Fuel distribution unit will be replaced with a unit incorporating a flexible right-hand fuel hose. In addition, the connection between the right-hand throttle body and the air inlet tube will be secured with two screws to prevent damage to the hose or injector should a backfire occur.
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 1999051.

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 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 240 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1999.
