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

- [2003283](/recalls/tc/2003283.md), 2003-11-12: Engine. On certain vehicles, a combination of a low battery condition and fuel in the upper intake manifold while the ignition key is activated at engine start could cause an elevated rate of manifold over\-pressurization events.  The operator may experience a loud bang / intake backfire that could rupture the intake manifold, resulting in emitting dust from under the hood and a no\-start condition.  If this event were to occur, and if an ignition source were present, an engine compartment fire could occur.  Correction:  Dealer will replace the fuel pressure regulator.
- [2000108](/recalls/tc/2000108.md), 2000-04-28: Seats And Restraints. On certain vehicles, the front seat shoulder belts may twist, allowing the webbing to become jammed in the retractor.  When the shoulder belt webbing becomes jammed in the retractor, the belt may be unuseable.  In a vehicle crash, an unbelted occupant may receive more severe injuries.  Correction:  Dealers will inspect for the presence of updated front shoulder belt bezels and where necessary, install new front seat shoulder belt opening bezel kits.
