On certain vehicles equipped with Mercedes-Benz accessory allseason floor mats, the mats may interfere with the accelerator pedal when the pedal is fully depressed, causing the accelerator pedal to become temporarily stuck in the open position or to retract more slowly than normal. An accelerator pedal that does not retract normally could result in the vehicle not decelerating as expected when the driver lifts their foot from the accelerator pedal. This could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the all-season floor mats with an updated design.
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 2012272.

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 444 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2012.
