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

- [2006172](/recalls/tc/2006172.md), 2006-07-17: Lights And Instruments. On certain vehicles the bulb used for the Daytime Running Lights \(DRL\), turn signals, and parking lamps may burn out prematurely.  Correction: Dealers will replace the socket and bulb in both lamps.
- [2004389](/recalls/tc/2004389.md), 2004-10-29: Brakes. Certain vehicles were produced with one or both rear brake hydraulic lines that can come in contact with or be affected by heat from the left engine exhaust manifold and the left exhaust pipe.  Also, on some 2005 vehicles, the crossover brake line to the right rear brake can come in contact with the rear differential case.  In both cases, a half system brake failure could occur, resulting in increased stopping distances.  Correction:  Dealers will repair/reposition the rear brake lines.
