741 of 25,867 recalls from Transport Canada and NHTSA.
Certain vehicles may not comply with CMVSS 207 - Seat Anchorages. Vehicles may have been shipped with one or two front seat mounting bolts not installed. In a vehicle crash, a seat with this condition will not protect the occupant as required by the standard.
No risk description available.
Dealers will check all seat mounting bolts and install new bolts where required.
On certain vehicles, the air bag sensor wiring pigtail insulation may become brittle and crack over time due to water accumulation in the protective convolute combined with high under hood temperatures and routing of the pigtail near the radiator. This could result in the air bag warning light illuminating and disabling of the air bag.
No risk description available.
Air bag sensors with revised wiring insulation will be installed. Also, vehicles which have the air bag warning light illuminated will have a new air bag diagnostic monitor installed if required.
Certain vehicles have a revised level side crash sensor that may deploy the side airbag if the ignition is in the "run" position and the seat belt webbing is forcibly extracted from a locked retractor with a jerking motion. If the side airbag deploys unexpectedly, it could potentially result in personal injury.
No risk description available.
Side crash sensors will be replaced with a revised design version which will reduce the likelihood of an unexpected side airbag deployment.
On certain vehicles equipped with manual front seatback recliners, the retaining bracket may have been improperly assembled and may not engage correctly. This could cause the seatback to shift fore and/or aft with minimal effort. Should this movement occur unexpectedly with the driver's seatback, it could startle the driver and lead to a crash. In a crash, if the movement occurs on either seat, this could increase the risk of personal injury to the driver and/or front passenger occupant.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the seatback recliner retaining bracket, and if found out of specification, it will be corrected.
On certain vehicles, the passenger seat belt assemblies may contain defective automatic locking retractors (ALR). As a result, the seat belts may not properly lock to secure a child seat.
A seat belt that is used to secure a child restraint but is not properly locked could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the seat belts. They will be replaced, if necessary.
On certain vehicles, the driver seat recliner bolts could break which would allow the seat back to recline unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion.
No risk description available.
Dealer will replace the recliner bolts with new shoulder bolt and, for vehicles with power driver seats built through January 2000, the recliner tracks will be realigned and a longer recliner driveshaft will be installed to prevent disengagement.
NOTE: 2 DOOR VEHICLES ONLY. THESE VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 209 - SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES. REAR SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY MAY NOT RELEASE WEBBING FROM THE RETRACTED POSITION.
No risk description available.
VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLIES WILL BE REPLACED IF NECESSARY.
On certain vehicles, due to insufficient strength of the access door (rear door) panels, cracks may develop if the access doors are repeatedly and forcefully closed over an extended period of time. As the driver and front passenger seat belt retractors are mounted in the access door panels, if cracks occur in the panel around the lower retractor anchor, the seat belt retractors could become detached. This could increase the risk of injury to an occupant in the event of a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the rear door panels for cracks or separation. Depending on the results of the inspection, the dealer will repair as necessary.
Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts. The driver and front passenger seat belt extenders may not retract as intended, which could cause the vehicle to fail to comply with the requirements of the standard and increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property in a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will update the software for the rear control module to correct the issue.
On certain vehicles, the first and/or second row seat fasteners may not have been tightened to specification at time of assembly. This could result in squeaks, rattles, deflection or unsatisfactory joint integrity, which could compromise the structural integrity of the seat, potentially increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants during a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the seats or seat sets as necessary.
Under certain conditions, the seat belt reminder chime may not sound when you start the vehicle and your seat belt is not buckled. Canadian regulations require both a seat belt reminder sound and visual telltale when a driver is not wearing their seat belt.
A seat belt warning that does not work correctly may not remind you to buckle your seat belt. Not wearing your seat belt can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Tesla will email a notice to owners and provide an over-the-air firmware update in early February 2022 to fix this problem. There is no further action required if your vehicle has firmware release 2021.43.101.1 or 2022.4.5, or a later release.
On small number of vehicles, the bolts that secure the driver's seat may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the bolts could loosen, and the seat could move or detach in a crash.
A seat that moves or detaches could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Polestar will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, tighten the driver's seat attachment bolts.
On certain 725I, 735IA and 750IL vehicles, on the front seats, the seatbacks may not have been fully seated on the recliner arms. This could result in looseness of, or noise in the seat. In extreme cases, during a severe rear impact, the seatback may not support the occupant and increase the risk of injury.
No risk description available.
Seatbacks will be inspected and properly seated if required.
Certain vehicles may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 207 - Anchorage of Seats. The third row seat may move forward if subject to high loading, such as in a frontal collision. As a result, it may not adequately restrain an occupant and would increase the risk of injury, and cause it to not conform to the standard.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install an additional support bracket.
Certain Quad Cab pickup trucks. The front outboard lower seat belt anchor bolts may not be tightened correctly. An improperly tightened seat belt anchor may not provide the anticipated level of occupant restraint in a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the driver and passenger side lower seat belt anchor bolts and tighten to specification.
On certain vehicles, the flexible steel cable that connects the seat belt to the vehicle structure at the front outboard seating positions can fatigue over time and could separate, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and repair or replace the lap pretensioner, as necessary.
On certain vehicles, the head restraints on the second-row center and/or right seat(s) may not have been properly welded. As a result, the head restraint(s) could move or detach from a seat in a crash.
Head restraints that move or detach in a crash could increase the risk of an injury.
Toyota will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the second-row right seatback frame.
On certain vehicles, the driver's and/or passenger's front outboard seat-belt webbing could separate during a frontal impact having at least the same dynamics as a 48 kph frontal barrier collision. If a separation occurred and there were secondary crash events or rollover, there would be no restraint of the occupant and increased injuries could occur.
No risk description available.
A protector cover will be installed over the recliner mechanism.
Certain vehicles may experience inadvertent driver and passenger side air bag deployments due to a production problem in the air bag modules.
No risk description available.
Driver and passenger door mounted side air bag modules will be replaced. Module wiring within the doors will be inspected and replaced if necessary.
On certain vehicles, the seat recliner mechanism for the second row left (driver’s) side seat may have a manufacturing error. If the second row left side seat walk-in feature (which folds the seatback and slides the seat forward for access to the third row) is operated while the seat is in the full recline position, the recliner cam could over rotate. When the seatback is returned to an upright position, there is a potential for the seatback to stay in unlocked position or unexpectedly unlock without engaging the lever. In the event of crash, an unlocked seatback could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant.
No risk description available.
Dealers will test the seat to confirm proper operation. If the seat recliner is found to be operating properly, a stopper bracket (which limits the rotation of the cam) will be installed on the seat recliner mechanism. In cases where the seatback does not function properly, dealers will replace the seatback frame assembly and a stopper bracket will be installed and proper operation will be verified.
