On certain vehicles, the accelerator rod can become bent when pedal forces exceed normal expected driver inputs, such as may occur when the pedal is at maximum travel and the vehicle encounters a large bump. In some cases, the pedal can interfere with the vehicle floor and become lodged in the full throttle position resulting in unexpected acceleration and/or extended stopping distance. This could cause the vehicle to have a collision, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: For RE buses, dealer will retrofit vehicles with a new pedal rod and bracket with incorporated pedal rod stop. For Strip Chassis, dealer will install an adjustable pedal rod stop on the floor.
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 2002181.

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 an International: 314 in the register, and 246 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2002.
