A small number of vehicles built before the start of series production ("pre-series vehicles" ) may have been sold to retail customers. Volkswagen has determined that these vehicles may not meet all Canadian regulations.
A vehicle that does not meet Canadian regulations could be unsafe to operate.
Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and offer to buy back the affected vehicles.
Certain sport utility vehicles. In the event of a severe frontal offset collision, sharp edges on the power steering pressure hose bracket could cut the front impact sensor wiring insulation causing a short circuit in the wiring. This could delay the deployment of the air bag system, increasing the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant.
No risk description available.
dealers will have the front impact sensor wire harness wrapped with protective insulation to prevent the possibility of sensor wiring damage during a severe crash..
On certain motorcycles, the fasteners which secure the accessory luggage rack may loosen over time. This could allow the luggage rack to separate from the scooter and strike another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install locking nuts and apply thread locking compound to the fasteners. The luggage rack brackets will be replaced with stronger versions.
Certain passenger vehicles. Model year 2000-2001 Nissan Sentra vehicles manufactured from February 1, 2000, through June 26, 2001. The cooling holes in the steel road wheel may have burrs on their edge as a result of improper manufacturing. These burrs can cause stress concentration as the vehicle is being driven. Cracks can propagate these burrs between adjacent cooling holes. If enough cracks develop between the cooling holes, the wheel could fail and separate from the mounting hub without prior warning. Separation of the wheel from the vehicle while being operated could result in a vehicle crash, possibly resulting in personal injury or death.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace all road wheels free of charge.
Certain vehicles do not comply with Regulation 6 - Statement of Compliance. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) on the compliance label are expressed in pounds rather than kilograms as required by the regulation.
No risk description available.
Revised labels and installation instructions will be provided to owners of affected vehicles.

Certain vehicles fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 206 – Door Lock and Door Retention Components. These vehicles have a double locking feature that will not let the doors be opened by an occupant inside the vehicle unless the unlock button is pressed on the vehicle key. As a result, occupants may be at a greater risk of being locked in the vehicle in an emergency situation.
No risk description available.
Dealers will update the vehicle’s software to disable the double locking feature.
Certain vehicles may experience a windshield wiper failure due to cracked solder joints on the controller circuit board. If this were to occur in a severe weather situation, driver's visibility could be reduced, which could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning.

No risk description available.
Dealer will modify the engine control computer software.
On certain motorcycles, the coolant hose connecting the horizontal cylinder head to the thermostat may develop a leak. Hot coolant spayed onto the rider's leg could cause scalding injuries. Furthermore, if coolant is sprayed onto the rear tire, it would create the risk of a crash causing injuries or death.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the coolant hose.
On certain vehicles, the interlock operation of the ignition switch may not function properly, making it possible to turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove the key without shifting the transmission to PARK. If the driver does not shift to PARK before removing the key and fails to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll and a crash could occur.
No risk description available.
Dealers will perform the required inspection and necessary repairs.

On certain 745I and 745LI vehicles, due to a software error in the digital engine management control unit, a desynchronization of the valvetronic motors for engine banks 1 and 2 may occur causing a rough-running engine. If this happens, the check engine light will illuminate, and the message "engine malfunction, drive with moderation" will appear in the vehicle's instrument cluster message display area. In certain extreme cases, the engine could stall and the driver may not be able to restart it.
No risk description available.
Dealer will reprogram the digital engine management control unit.
Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS. 110 - Tire Selection and Rims. The "vehicle capacity mass " and "designated seating capacity" information was not printed on the safety certification labels.

No risk description available.
INSULATOR WILL BE MODIFIED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
On certain vehicles, the radar sensor for the pre-collision system (PCS) may not work properly. As a result, the pre-collision system can't detect when there is another vehicle in front of your vehicle. This means that the collision warnings and braking assist will not work to help avoid a crash.
A pre-collision system that does not work properly could increase the risk of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the radar sensor and re-initialize it, if necessary.
On certain Boxster Spyder models, it is possible that the locking hook on the sun shield (temporary soft top) may not engage correctly into the lock catch which is positioned on the windscreen frame of the vehicle. If the sun shield is not fully locked, the sun shield can open when travelling at higher speeds increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the locking hook and lock catch with redesigned components.
On certain motorcycles, bolts securing two cable guides to the mainframe (in the headstock area) could loosen and restrict handlebar travel range. Reduced handlebar travel would affect handling and manoeuvrability of the motorcycle, which could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the cable guide bolts with bolts that contain a thread locking compound.
Certain motorcycles equipment with chrome-plated frames. Copper residue can remain in the tapped hole where the upper fork bridge attaches to the frames. Moisture can cause corrosion to occur between the copper residue and the aluminum frame. The stress of the connecting bolt attaching the upper fork to the frame could them decrease, leading to loosening, and ultimately, breakage of the bolt. If this happening, the dynamic stability of the motorcycle would be affected and a loss of control could occur.
No risk description available.
dealers will ream the hole in the frame head and install a helicoil thread insert and a new bolt.
On certain vehicles equipped with a carbon fiber trunk, the emergency trunk release was not installed inside the trunk. This could prevent a person that is trapped inside the trunk from opening it.
If a person is closed inside the trunk, they may not be able to get out. This could create a risk of injury.
Nissan will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to install the trunk release mechanism.
