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

- [2013238](/recalls/tc/2013238.md), 2013-07-05: Airbag. On certain vehicles, the front passenger seat occupant detection mat can fatigue over time.  As a result, the passenger airbag could deactivate, illuminating the airbag warning lamp and the passenger airbag ON/OFF lamp.  Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash \(where deployment is warranted\) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant.  Correction: Vehicles will receive special extended warranty coverage of 10 years from first registration.  Under this special coverage program, vehicles which experience this condition will have the occupant detection mat replaced.
- [2012129](/recalls/tc/2012129.md), 2012-04-12: Label. Certain vehicles fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.  Specifically, the compliance label does not indicate the wheel rim size, as required by the Standard.  Correction: Due to the inconsequential nature of this non\-compliance, no action will be taken.
- [2008307](/recalls/tc/2008307.md), 2008-08-26: Seats And Restraints. On certain vehicles, the front passenger seat occupant detection mat can fatigue during field usage depending on the seat configuration, vehicle geometry, manner and frequency of front passenger entry/exit.  Over time micro cracks could develop in the side flanks of the mat, which could lead to a break of the conductive path and the system will recognize a failure and with exception of head protection system the front passenger air bag will be deactivated.  The airbag On/Off lamp will be illuminated to make the occupants aware of the deactivation.   Correction: The occupant detection mat will be granted a warranty extension of 10 years.
