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

- [2003073](/recalls/tc/2003073.md), 2003-03-20: Fuel System. On certain vehicles, a fuel feed line connecting the fuel filter to the engine can prematurely age and shrink through exposure to high under hood temperature caused by the turbocharger.  Such shrinkage could cause a clamp connection adjacent to the turbocharger to loose its clamping force resulting in fuel seepage.  This is an expansion of recall 00\-097.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the entire fuel feed line from the filter to the engine with a fuel line of shrinkage\-proof material.
- [1997176](/recalls/tc/1997176.md), 1997-10-10: Seats And Restraints. THE DISCHARGE OF STATIC ELECTRICITY UNDER LOW HUMIDITY CONDITIONS COULD ACTIVATE THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WHEN THE DRIVER ENTERS OR EXITS THE VEHICLE AND FORMS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT BY TOUCHING CERTAIN AREAS OF THE STEERING WHEEL.  ACTIVATION OF THE AIR BAG UNDER THESE CONDITIONS COULD CAUSE INJURY. CORRECTION: A GROUND WIRE WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
- [1996024](/recalls/tc/1996024.md), 1996-02-06: Electrical. THE IGNITION SWITCHES ON THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED AND COULD CAUSE ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES, SUCH AS TURN SIGNALS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, LAMPS, POWER WINDOWS AND AIR CONDITIONERS TO MALFUNCTION WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED. CORRECTION: IGNITION SWITCH WILL BE REPLACED.
