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, the screws securing the seat backrest and lower seat belt anchor to the passenger front seat may be incorrectly installed or missing due to a manufacturing process error. In the event of a crash, the seat and seatbelt may not work as intended, which could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the screws that secure the seat backrest and the lower seat belt anchor on the passenger front seat.
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 2016107.

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 644 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2016.
