9,382 of 25,853 recalls from Transport Canada and NHTSA.
On a small number of vehicles, there may be a weld problem with the front passenger knee airbag. As a result, the knee airbag may not inflate properly in a crash.
An airbag that does not inflate properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the front passenger knee airbag.
On certain 2 door coupe vehicles, in the event of a collision that warrants a deployment of the front passenger airbag, the deploying airbag could strike the passenger sun visor if it is in the down position. This could cause the sun visor to detach from its mounting bracket, potentially contacting an occupant, which would increase the risk of injury.
No risk description available.
Dealers will add a tether strap to the passenger sun visor.
DUE TO INADEQUATE LUBRICATION THE TRANSMISSION ON THESE VEHICLES MAY BE RENDERED INOPERATIVE AND COULD SEIZE. THIS WOULD CAUSE LOCK-UP AND SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.
No risk description available.
No remedy description available.
Certain vehicles were built with a European-specification brake fluid reservoir cap instead of the correct North American cap. Canadian regulations require specific information to be provided on the brake fluid cap.
This small error is unlikely to affect safety.
This is not a recall. The company will install the correct brake fluid reservoir cap on all new (unsold) vehicles.
On certain vehicles, when the fuel tank is full and the vehicle is parked forward on an upward slope, the fuel tank leveling valve may not maintain proper sealing in the event the fuel expands from the rise in ambient temperature. If the fuel leveling valve does not seal properly, fuel may leak onto the ground. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the fuel leveling valve.
On certain vehicles, the power steering pressure line may not be properly connected to the brake booster. As a result, power steering fluid could leak and cause a loss of power steering and power brake assist. Note: Vehicles that were inspected under recall 22S08 (Transport Canada recall 2022-073) also require this repair. This recall only affects certain E-series incomplete vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels.
A loss of power brakes can cause a potential sudden increase in brake pedal force and lead to an increase in stopping distance. A loss of power steering assist can cause a sudden increase in steering effort, especially at low speeds. Both could increase the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the power steering pressure line and the brake booster line.
Certain vehicles equipped with auto-apply park brakes may exhibit an unintended brake apply at speed due to a solenoid coil failure or some may exhibit a failure to release and/or be slow to apply or release due to water contamination.
No risk description available.
Dealers will seal the joint between the park brake reservoir and the pump assembly with Room-Temperature-Vulcanizing (RTV) sealant or inspect and replace any 10 volt park solenoids with a 12 volt solenoid.
On certain vehicles equipped with side curtain airbags, the installation bolts could damage the airbags when they deploy. In the event of a crash requiring deployment of the side curtain airbags, the airbags may not inflate properly, which could increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install a protective cover over the side curtain airbag installation bolts.
On certain vehicles, the outer tubes of the rear liftgate support struts may have had insufficient anti-corrosion treatment applied during manufacturing. As a result, the outer tube could corrode due to salt and water penetration. If this were to occur, the liftgate support strut could rapidly lose pressure, which would allow the liftgate to drop suddenly, placing anyone beneath or near the gate at risk of injury.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the rear liftgate support struts with updated ones.
Certain vehicles may have been assembled with a smaller brake fluid reservoir designed for use on the 2500 model. This smaller reservoir does not match Sprinter 3500 certification documentation.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the brake fluid reservoir.
Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The headlamp bulb type markings do not comply with the requirements of the standard.
No risk description available.
A manufacturing change has been undertaken to prevent this non-compliance condition from continuing. No corrective recall action is required as the non-compliance condition is deemed to be non-safety related.
On certain vehicles, the ABS ECU misinterprets certain signals from wheel ends which can result in the temporary loss of braking capability on one or more wheel positions for several seconds. This response results from either an ABS cable that has chafed through the insulation and contacted a rotating part or a misaligned tone ring that has been damaged by contacting other components.
No risk description available.
ABS ECU will be replaced with a new ECU with upgraded software capable of detecting and properly responding to erroneous signals.
THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE LABELLING REQUIREMENTS OF C.M.V.S.S. 120 - TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS.
No risk description available.
CORRECT LABELS WILL BE MAILED TO OWNERS.
On certain Ram 1500 4x4 pickup trucks the rear axle flange weld to the axle tube could fatigue and allow the brake caliper assembly to rotate. During rotation, the brake line could separate from the caliper resulting in a brake fluid loss in the rear brake hydraulic system potentially resulting in a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install rear brake caliper reinforcement collars on the rear axle tube assemblies.
On certain vehicles manufactured with a 2-piece steering shaft, the lower or upper steering shaft may disconnect from the coupler. Separation would result in complete loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
As an interim measure, dealers will drill a hole through the steering shaft and install a roll pin. When parts become available, dealers will replace the 2-piece steering shaft with a one piece shaft.
On certain Focus Electric vehicles, there may be increased friction and excessive wear of the differential pinion gear shaft due to an error in manufacturing. This could result in localized overheating and eventual fracture of the pinion shaft or pinion gears, which would result in a loss of motive power while driving and loss of the transmission park function without warning, which could allow the vehicle to roll away while in PARK, increasing the risk of injury and/or property damage.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install a new transmission differential assembly.
One vehicle was produced with a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the compliance label that does not match the VIN on the vehicle.
Canadian regulations require each vehicle to have a unique VIN that may be found in multiple places on the vehicle.
Volkswagen will notify the owner by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to install a new compliance label.
THESE VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH CMVSS 1103 - EXHAUST EMISSIONS.
No risk description available.
No remedy description available.
A SHORT, U-SHAPED NYLON FUEL TUBE (JUMPER TUBE) LOCATED ON THE LEFT-HAND FRAME RAIL CONNECTING THE FUEL PUMP TO THE FUEL FILTER COULD DEVELOP PIN HOLES IN THE TUBING WALL. IF THIS CONDITION SHOULD OCCUR, IT WOULD ALLOW FUEL TO LEAK AND A FIRE COULD RESULT.
No risk description available.
FUEL TUBE WILL BE REPLACED WITH ONE HAVING A KRAYTON SLEEVE.
Certain double-cab pickup trucks equipped with a manual passenger side frontal airbag “ON/OFF” switch may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) 209 – Seat Belt Assemblies. The front passenger seat belt retractor assembly may not be equipped with the correct torsion bar. If the front passenger airbag is manually turned off and inadvertently left off with an adult in the front passenger seat, this condition could increase the risk of injury to the front passenger in the event of a crash.
No risk description available.
For unsold vehicles, dealers will replace both the driver and passenger retractors, and for sold vehicles, dealers will replace the passenger retractor.
