On certain vehicles, the accelerator pedal might not have been fully fastened to its mounting studs during vehicle assembly. Due to the geometry and tension in the assembly, the mounting studs will maintain the position of the accelerator pedal but may, over time, not maintain a consistent pedal position, which could make it more difficult to operate the accelerator. Correction: Dealers will inspect the pedal assembly and, if required, install two nuts.
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 2006372.

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 Mercedes-Benz: 477 in the register, and 377 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2006.
