519 of 25,867 recalls from Transport Canada and NHTSA.
On certain vehicles equipped with a power liftgate system, the gas-filled struts (which help to raise and support the liftgate) may be prone to early life failures due to a manufacturing flaw. This could allow the liftgate to drop suddenly, placing anyone beneath or near the gate at risk of personal injury.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace both liftgate struts.
Certain motorcycles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CVMSS) 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The rear side reflectors on the luggage case or luggage case mounts may be partially blocked and not meet the requirements of the standard, which could reduce vehicle conspicuity to following road users, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.
No risk description available.
Depending on the model, dealers will either attach a side reflector to the luggage case, or add a bracket containing a rear side reflector.
On certain vehicles, if a front inside door lock switch is held in the locked position while the inside door handle is pulled, the door latch inside handle lever may become out of position relative to the door latch master link. If this occurs, the inside door handle will not return to its normal, stowed position and the door latch will remain in the unlatched position when attempting to close the door. If the driver or front seat passenger does not notice that a front door is unlatched, the door may open while the vehicle is being driven, which increases the risk of personal injury or death to the driver or front seat passenger.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the door latch assemblies.
On certain vehicles, the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) G-sensor may have been incorrectly installed during vehicle assembly. This could affect vehicle handling characteristics during hard braking, sudden turns or other quick manoeuvres, causing the vehicle to react in an unexpected manner or result in unstable handling. Consequently, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and a crash could occur, causing property damage, personal injury or death.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, reinstall the VDC G-sensor.
CMVSS 115 requires that certain information be uniquely identified in the vehicle identification number (VIN). One such item is the engine type. This particular vehicle configuration has two available engines, 1.6L and 2.0L. Both vehicle configurations have been labelled with the same VIN prefix that being "2S3TA52C". This was the correct VIN prefix for the 2.0L model. All 1.6L models should have been encoded with the VIN prefix "2S3TA03C".
No risk description available.
As this does not present a safety risk and there are no possibilities that a VIN could have been applied in duplicate, no corrective measures will be taken.
On certain motorcycles, the rear drive sprocket can fail while the vehicle is underway. This could allow the chain to become entangled in the rear wheel, possibly causing a loss of vehicle control and a crash with personal injury or death.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the rear drive sprocket with an updated version.
On certain vehicles, a left and/or right A-Pillar trim cover clip may not have been manufactured correctly. This may allow the trim to come loose in a crash where the head protection airbags would deploy. If this happens, it could increase the risk personal injury or death.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the clips in the middle A-pillar covers.
On certain vehicles, the side stand spring and/or the pin used to attach the spring to the frame may be damaged, allowing unintended deployment of the side stand.
No risk description available.
Dealer will replace the side stand spring and frame rail bracket.
Certain vehicles may experience throttle body icing in conditions where temperatures are near or below -20 degrees Celsius. Vehicle with this conditions could have the throttle stick open after a cold soak or they can experience a frozen throttle while driving.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install new parts that integrate with the coolant system to heat the PCV lines and avoid PCV freezing.
On certain vehicles equipped with a heated washer fluid system, a short circuit on the printed circuit board for the washer fluid heater may overheat the control-circuit ground wire. This situation may cause other electrical features to malfunction which could cause smoke and in some cases a fire.
No risk description available.
Dealer will install a wire harness with an in-line fuse.
On certain vehicles, the centrally-located tailpipe extension protrudes slightly beyond the rear bumper. As a consequence, it is possible for inadvertent contact with a person's leg. It the tailpipe is hot during contact, a burn could occur.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the tailpipe extension with a new, shortened version.
Certain limousine vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 110 - Tire Selection and Rims. The front axle weight could be such that the "normal load" on the vehicle's tires may exceed 88 percent of the tire maximum load rating.
No risk description available.
Tires will be replaced with ones that have a sufficiently higher load rating.
Under certain conditions, the lane keeping assist (LKA) feature of the advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) may not work properly. As a result, the steering wheel could move unexpectedly and/or the steering wheel movements may be difficult to override.
An advanced driver assistance system that doesn't work properly could increase the risk of a crash if the driver doesn't intervene.
VinFast reminds that LKA is only an ADAS feature, and that the driver must pay attention and be ready to take control at all times when the feature is engaged. VinFast will notify owners by email and advise you to take your vehicle to a VinFast authorized service center to update the ADAS software.
NOTE: FIREBIRD FORMULA AND TRANS AM WITH PERFORMANCE PACKAGE. THESE VEHICLES MAY NOT MEET LOCAL OR PROVINCIAL PASS-BY NOISE REQUIREMENTS.
No risk description available.
DEALERS WILL REFLASH THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) CALIBRATION.
On certain vehicles, the speed control deactivation switch may overheat, smoke, or burn, potentially resulting in an underhood fire. The condition may occur either when the vehicle is parked or when it is in operation.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install a new switch or fused wiring harness.
On certain AWD vehicles, if the floor carpet near the accelerator pedal is not reinstalled correctly following a service repair, the plastic pad embedded into the floor carpet could interfere with the operation of the accelerator pedal. If this occurs, the accelerator pedal could temporarily become stuck in a partially depressed position, rather than return to the idle position. This could result in a loss of throttle control and a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.
No risk description available.
Dealers will modify the plastic pad.
On certain electric vehicles, a software problem could cause the pedestrian warning system not to work properly. Canadian regulations require electric vehicles to make a minimum sound level when operating at low speeds.
A pedestrian warning system that doesn't work properly could create an increased risk of injury for other road users.
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS) software.
On certain vehicles equipped with Power Liftgate option, in the event of a liftgate strut malfunction, the liftgate may fall freely without warning after the liftgate is powered open. If the vehicle operator or passenger is standing beneath the liftgate when it falls, an injury may result.
No risk description available.
Dealers will reprogram the power liftgate module. The latest software version allows the motor to sense a falling liftgate and activate an un-commanded power close mode to control lowering of the liftgate in the event that a strut failure occurs.
THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 118 - POWER-OPERATED WINDOWS, POWER-OPERATED PARTITIONS AND POWER-OPERATED ROOF PANELS. THE ACCESSORY DELAY FEATURE, WHICH ALLOWS THE POWER WINDOWS TO OPERATE FOR A PERIOD OF 15 MINUTES AFTER THE IGNITION KEY IS TURNED OFF, SHOULD BE CANCELLED UPON THE OPENING OF EITHER FRONT DOOR.
