BMW X5 in the other registers

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 equipped with an optional rear comfort seat, welding for the safety belt buckle assembly bracket may have been incorrectly positioned, and does not meet specifications. In the event of a crash, the weld could break. If this were to occur, the safety belt buckle and associated bracket could loosen from the seat frame, increasing the risk of personal injury to the left rear seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the left rear seat frame.
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 2014461.

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 BMW: 449 in the register, and 591 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2014.
