## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2020032](/recalls/tc/2020032.md), 2020-01-29: Airbag. Issue: On certain vehicles, exposure to moisture over time could cause the driver\-front airbag not to inflate properly in a crash.  Safety Risk: In a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the driver\-front airbag may not inflate properly. This could create a risk of injury.  Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. There may be a significant delay before replacement parts are available. The company will send you a second letter once replacement parts are available and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the driver\-front airbag inflator. If the inflator requires replacement, a newly design part will be installed.
- [2002104](/recalls/tc/2002104.md), 2001-03-03: Steering. On certain vehicles the tie rods of the steering assembly may be inadequately sealed to prevent moisture and dust particles from entering the swivel bearing mechanism. If moisture and/or dust particles enter the swivel bearing mechanism, the swivel bearing could wear over time diminishing the steering control of the vehicle. Correction: Dealers will replace the tie rods.
- [1999195](/recalls/tc/1999195.md), 1999-10-29: Steering. On certain vehicles, the steering assembly tie rod seals do not seal properly.  If moisture and/or dust particles enter the swivel bearing mechanism, the swivel bearing may wear over time to a point where the steering begins to feel "loose" and could diminish the steering control of the vehicle with the potential for a vehicle crash.  Correction:  Tie rods will be replaced on affected vehicles.
