Audi Q5 in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Audi Q5 is named on 22 American notices, 25 British, 23 European, 5 Japanese and 22 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register
The British register
The European register
The Japanese register
The Israeli 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 vehicles, a left and/or right A-Pillar trim cover clip may not have been manufactured correctly. This may allow the trim to come loose in a crash where the head protection airbags would deploy. If this happens, it could increase the risk personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the clips in the middle A-pillar covers.
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 2009351.

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 Audi: 212 in the register, and 368 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2009.
