FCA Canada has determined that some Mopar gooseneck trailer hitch ball kits may not fully seat and lock into the truck hardware as intended. This can be caused by dirt and/or debris accumulation on top of the gooseneck ball mount, in the mounting hole and/or tolerance stack-up. If this occurs, the gooseneck ball may appear to be locked in place when it is not. If the gooseneck ball is not locked in place, under certain driving conditions it may detach from the truck.
Affected parts are the Mopar 2 5/16‘’ Gooseneck Ball Kit part number 82213631 and Mopar 3” Gooseneck Ball Kit part number 82213632.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.

On certain vehicles equipped with Kidde fire extinguishers with black plastic handles and valves, the fire extinguishers may become clogged or require excessive force to activate. Also, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury, and fail to discharge. In case of fire, failure of the extinguisher to function could result in injury and/or property damage.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Owners will be provided with instructions on how to inspect the fire extinguisher to see if it is recalled. Replacement fire extinguishers will be supplied by Kidde directly.
Certain tinted windshields sold as accessories through BMW dealerships may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 205 - Glazing Materials. The windshields may contain extra tinting in certain areas, which would be contrary to the requirements of the standard and could potentially limit the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the tinted windshield with one that meets the standard's requirements.
Certain Harley-Davidson Detachable Saddlebags, sold as accessories through Harley-Davidson dealerships, may contain a defect. The saddlebag wall thickness may be inadequate, causing improper latching. The saddlebag latching arm may disengage, potentially allowing the saddlebag to separate from the motorcycle while riding. This would pose a risk to other road users and increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will install a kit onto the affected saddlebags that prevents the arm from unlatching inadvertently.
On certain vehicles, the sunroof may not have been bonded properly and could separate from the vehicle. This could pose a risk to other road users, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property.

Also, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury, and fail to discharge. In case of fire, failure of the extinguisher to function could result in injury and/or property damage.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy

Certain decorative chrome door handle covers, sold as aftermarket accessories through Ford dealers, may affect compliance to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 206 – Door Lock and Door Retention Components. These accessories may cause the door handles to fail to conform to the inertial load requirements of the standard. A door handle fitted with a chrome cover could unlatch due to inertial loads during a side impact crash if the door were unlocked, which would increase the risk of injury.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Covers will be removed from vehicles and owners will be reimbursed for parts and labour.
On certain vehicles equipped with the passive Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system, the function may not operate properly due to the wrong instrument cluster and steering wheel being installed. As a result, the BSM cannot be activated. If a driver was expecting the system to be functional and were to rely solely on the visual and acoustic warnings of the BSM when attempting to change to or overtake a lane in which another vehicle is travelling, it could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will install the correct instrument cluster and steering wheel.
On certain vehicles, the Entertainment-Telematics Module (ETM) may become inoperative when subjected to temperatures below Zero degrees Celsius. If this occurs, the backup camera image would not be displayed in the ETM which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property while reversing.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers update the Entertainment-Telematics Module.

A safety defect may exist in some aftermarket front brake levers. In certain adjustment levels, the brake lever blade may contact the handlebar grip, which would not allow for maximum brake performance. This would increase stopping distances, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Triumph dealers will identify and contact affected owners and arrange for a replacement brake lever.
On certain vehicles equipped with an optional factory trailer tow hitch package, the trailer tow hitch may have been incorrectly assembled to the vehicle structure. If operated under this condition, this could cause a partial or complete separation of the trailer tow hitch which would increase the risk of crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and install any missing fasteners to the trailer tow hitch assembly.
On certain vehicles, the glass panel of the sunroof may not have been properly bonded to the sunroof frame. This could allow the glass panel to separate from the vehicle while driving, creating a road hazard which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will apply additional adhesive between the sunroof frame and glass panel.

Certain Mopar canvas seat covers, sold as aftermarket parts, may not be compatible with vehicles equipped with seat thorax airbags and could impede deployment. This could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant in a side impact crash where seat thorax airbag deployment is warranted.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
FCA Canada will notify owners who may have purchased the Mopar Canvas Seat Covers, and advise them to remove the covers and return them for a refund.
Certain motorcycles equipped with a Honda accessory rear trunk could contain a safety defect. The trunk base locking hook could fail to fully engage when the locking lever is lowered. This could cause the trunk to inadvertently detach from the base and startle the driver, and/or pose a risk to other road users, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will temporarily attach the trunk to the motorcycle using cable ties. Dealers will replace the trunk base with a redesigned unit once parts become available.
Certain vehicles outfitted with a tow hitch accessory may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. Due to an incompatibility between the tow hitch harness control module and the vehicle’s power supply circuitry, when the vehicle’s engine is running and the brake lights are illuminated, if the turn signal is activated the trailer’s turn signal lamp may either: a) Remain continuously illuminated (not flash), or b) Turn off. As a result, drivers may not be able to clearly signal their intentions to turn, change lanes, which could increase the risk of a crash.
On certain vehicles, the driver side floor mat anchors could break over time which could allow the floor mat to slide forward and potentially allowing the accelerator to become stuck in the wide open position. A fully depressed accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to slow or stop the vehicle. This could result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the driver side floor mat and possibly the accelerator pedal cover.
On certain vehicles, the occupant classification system (OCS) software developed for optional Multi-Contour seats may not properly classify an adult occupant sitting in the front passenger seat when the seat massage feature is activated. If an adult occupant in the front passenger seat is incorrectly classified as a child, in the event of a crash, the frontal airbag may not deploy which could increase the risk of injury.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will update the occupant classification system module with a new software.
