The Israeli register

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, the throttle could stick intermittently during operation. The exact point of sticking is not predictable and can result in a higher engine speed than expected. In the case where a throttle fails to return to idle, particularly after a high degree of engine throttle application, the driver will experience difficulty bringing the vehicle to rest. Correction: Dealer will inspect the manufacturing date of the throttle body of vehicles within the referent VIN range and replace those with a batch number between B5 and B11, inclusive. This recall is superseded by recall 2004148
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 2003097.

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 Land Rover Discovery, 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 Land Rover: 127 in the register, and 350 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2003.
