This recall is for certain vehicles that had an airbag inflator replaced as a part of an earlier recall campaign. This recall provides a final repair. Long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function.
If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury.
Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the passenger-front airbag inflator. The passenger-front airbag module or inflator will be replaced as necessary. Note: The Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.
THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 301 - FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY. REAR COMPARTMENT PAN WELDS MAY NOT MEET MANUFACTURING STANDARDS.
No risk description available.
DEALERS ARE TO INSTALL RIVETS ADJACENT TO THE LOCATIONS WHERE SUSPECT WELDS MAY HAVE OCCURRED.
On certain vehicles, the front and rear suspension knuckles may not have been properly heat-treated. As a result, a knuckle could bend or break. If this happens, there can be a sudden alignment change that could lead to a loss of vehicle stability.
A loss of vehicle stability could increase the risk of a crash.
Tesla will notify owners by email and advise you to contact Tesla service to arrange for an inspection of the front and rear suspension knuckles. The parts will be replaced, if necessary.
On a small number of vehicles, the windshield washer fluid reservoir may have been filled with washer fluid that was contaminated with brake fluid. This could reduce the driver's ability to clear the windshield and cause damage to the wiper/washer system.
A windshield that is not properly cleared could block a driver's view. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to flush out the washer system and replace the washer bottle neck, washer pump assembly, fluid level sensor as well as the front and rear wiper blades. The dealer will also inspect and repair paint and exterior components, if necessary.
Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection. The passenger side sun visor may display an incorrect airbag warning label.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install a new passenger side sun visor with the correct label.
On certain vehicles, the fuel filler pipe could corrode and become perforated. This could allow fuel to leak onto the ground while refuelling the vehicle or shortly thereafter. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the fuel filler pipe.
On certain vehicles, the side curtain airbag inflator(s) could rupture and separate unexpectedly. As a result, a piece of metal from the inflator could be propelled toward vehicle occupants with or without the airbag(s) deploying. This could also cause the side curtain airbag(s) not to inflate properly in a crash.
An airbag inflator that ruptures can create a risk of injury. Additionally, an airbag that doesn't inflate properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the side curtain airbag(s), as necessary.
Certain vehicles may have an incorrectly manufactured guide plate which could hinder the function of the transmission parking pawl. Consequently, PARK may not engage when the lever in the vehicle is moved to PARK and all indicators show PARK position is achieved. If the vehicle was parked on an incline of sufficient grade, and the parking brake was not engaged, the vehicle could roll away.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the parking pawl guide plate.
On certain vehicles, the power steering hose attenuator may collapse and cause a restriction in the hose as well as a reduction in power steering assist. This would unexpectedly increase steering effort, potentially resulting in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install a revised hose assembly.
On certain vehicles, the headlamps may not be aimed correctly. As a result, the vehicles may not meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations.
Headlamps that aren't properly aimed can reduce visibility and could increase the risk of a crash.
Rivian will notify owners by mail and advise you to bring your vehicle to a Rivian service center to inspect and, if necessary, adjust the headlamps.
On certain vehicles equipped with 4-wheel drive (4Matic), the transmission wiring harness might not be routed correctly. As a result, water could enter the wiring harness connector and cause a short circuit.
A short circuit can create the risk of a fire, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off.
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the connector on the transmission wiring harness, and repair it if necessary. Additionally, the dealer will install a bracket to improve the routing of the transmission wiring harness.
Certain motorcycles may not have adequate clearance between the front disc brake pads and the caliper assembly. Heat build-up to repeated hard braking at high speed, can cause the brake pad backing plate to expand and bind in the caliper. If this occurs, the brake pads will continuously contact the brake rotor causing overheating, possible rotor distortion and reduced brake performance.
No risk description available.
Front brake pads and rotors will be inspected and replaced if necessary.
On certain vehicles, the wiring for the steering wheel-mounted airbag could be damaged by sharp metal edges that may be present on the steering wheel core. This could disconnect the airbag, causing it not to work and turning on the airbag (SRS) warning light. This problem could also cause the airbag to deploy suddenly without a crash.
A driver-front airbag that does not deploy properly in a crash could increase the risk of injuries. A sudden airbag deployment when there is no crash could also create a risk of injury.
Honda will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the steering wheel wiring and install a protective cover over the steering wheel core.
On certain 318I, 325I and M3 vehicles, elevated pressure in the cooling system due to overheating could result in cracking of the heater core end piece. Should this happen, coolant could be expelled onto the lower right leg of the driver, possibly resulting in personal injury and/or fogging of the interior surfaces of the windows causing reduced driver vision.
No risk description available.
A thermistatic bypass valve will be installed to control coolant temperature in the heater core. Also, a new design radiator cap will be installed to control pressure and provide greater overflow.
On certain vehicles, the electric power steering (EPS) control circuit board may have been contaminated during manufacturing. This could result in an intermittent or permanent sudden loss of power steering assist while driving. Steering control can be maintained, as the vehicle will revert to a manual steering mode, but will require greater driver effort. The sudden change in steering effort may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the EPS rack and pinion gear assembly.
A safety defect may exist in vehicles in which remanufactured automatic transmissions were installed as service replacement parts. The shift lever bolt may not have been torqued to the proper torque specification. If the improperly torqued shift level bolt loosens and backs out, the shift lever may disengage from the transmission without warning, and the transmission may not respond to the shifter selection movement by the operator. This could result in the loss of transmission gear selection, and possible unintended vehicle movement, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the shift lever assembly and/or the shift level bolt torqued to the proper specification.
On certain vehicles, the front coil springs may fracture when operated in high corrosion areas (where salt is used on the roadways in winter). The potential for corrosion causing a spring to fracture increases with the number of kilometres and years in service on the vehicle. A fractured spring could move past the spring seat and contact a front tire causing a rupture resulting in a rapid air loss.
No risk description available.
For vehicles sold in or are currently registered in the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, dealers will install protective spring shields as specified in recall campaign 04S17. In addition, Ford will notify nationwide all 1999 to 2001 Taurus and Sable owners of a Customer Satisfaction Program 04M04 in which Ford will provide additional repair coverage for replacement of fractured front coil springs for a period of 10 years from the original date of sale of the vehicle, or up to 240 000 kilometres, whichever occurs first.
On certain C and E-Class convertible models, the head restraints on the rear seats may not have been properly assembled. As a result, the head restraints may not latch properly, and could move or detach from the seat in a crash.
Head restraints that move or detach in a crash could increase the risk of an injury.
Mercedes-Benz will contact owners by mail and instruct you to take your car to a dealer to inspect and replace the rear seat head restraints, as required. To reduce the safety risk, Mercedes-Benz recommends that you should remove the rear seat head restraints and not use the rear seats until the recall repairs are completed.
