Under certain testing conditions, the front seat material may not meet the flammability requirements of Canadian regulations. However, when the seat mat is tested in a fully assembled state, with all four layers, it meets all requirements.
This is a testing issue that does not affect vehicle safety.
This is not a recall. The company has made changes to ensure that all new vehicles have fully compliant seat-vent mats.
On certain four-wheel drive vehicles, the joint portion of the front driveshaft may contain small cracks. These cracks may eventually lead to a failure, resulting in separation of the front driveshaft. If the driveshaft failed while the vehicle was moving, a loud noise would be heard. If the vehicle were in 2WD mode, the driveshaft would come to rest on the frame cross-member, and the vehicle could be operated normally. The driveshaft would not come in contact with brake, steering or fuel system components, therefore the risk of a crash is considered minimal.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the vehicle and replace the front driveshaft if necessary.
NOTE: THIS RECALL IS A DUPLICATE OF 94-045.

This recall only affects vehicles that were originally sold or ever registered in areas of heavy road salt usage (Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador).
A loss of vehicle stability could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the rear suspension toe links and adjuster fasteners.

On certain vehicles, the windshield wipers were not adjusted correctly at the factory. This could cause the driver’s wiper to clear a slightly smaller area of the windshield than it should. Canadian regulations require a minimum percentage of the windshield glass area that is cleaned by the wiper.
This small error would not affect a driver’s visibility and is unlikely to affect safety.
This is not a recall. This notice is for information only. The company has made changes to ensure that all new vehicles have windshield wipers that are adjusted correctly.
On certain vehicles equipped with Michelin Primacy Tour A/S tires, the maximum tire pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire is lower than the maximum tire pressure specified on the tire loading and information label and on the gas tank cap. The placard lists a maximum pressure of 320 kPa (47 psi) instead of 300 kPa (44 psi). Canadian regulations require this information to be consistent on both the labels and tires.
This error does not affect vehicle safety. Michelin has indicated that the tires can be operated safely up to a maximum pressure of 350 kPa (51 psi).
This is not a recall. Mercedes-Benz has corrected the tire loading and information label on all new vehicles.
