Mercedes-Benz S CLASS in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Mercedes-Benz S CLASS is named on 5 American notices, 3 British and 4 European. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register
The British register
The European 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, the seat belt anchor fittings of the front seats might not be mounted correctly. As a result, the connection at the seat belt anchor fitting could release under heavy loading. This may affect the restraint performance of the seat belt and result in an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the seat belt anchor fittings.

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 466 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2013.
