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

- [2006316](/recalls/tc/2006316.md), 2006-11-17: Airbag. On certain vehicles, in cases where a weak battery exists, it is possible that a low voltage condition could cause the airbag control unit to improperly set a fault code.  If this occurs, the passenger\-side frontal airbag will become deactivated and would not deploy during a frontal crash.  As a result, a passenger\-seat occupant could receive more severe injuries.  Correction: Dealers will update the airbag control module software.
- [2005358](/recalls/tc/2005358.md), 2005-11-14: Airbag. On certain vehicles, an improperly routed ground in the front passenger\-side airbag and seat heater harness may cause signal interference.  This can result in the deactivation of the passenger\-side frontal airbag under circumstances when it should remain activated.  If this condition occurs, the passenger\-side frontal airbag would not deploy in the case of a frontal crash, possibly exposing the occupant to risk of injury.  Correction: Dealers will modify the wiring harness.
