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

- [1991063](/recalls/tc/1991063.md), 1991-04-17: Brakes. On certain vehicles, the parking brake system may contain a non\-functional parking brake adjuster.  This may result in a gradual loss of parking brake effectiveness as the rear disc pads wear.  As a result, the parking brake may not hold the vehicle on a steep incline.  If the vehicle is parked with the transmission in neutral or a forward gear, the vehicle may roll away and result in personal injury or property damage.  Correction:  A new parking brake adjuster will be installed.
- [1986002](/recalls/tc/1986002.md), 1986-01-07: Seats And Restraints. On certain vehicles, the front seat shoulder belt webbing may not retract into the retractor.  This condition may be caused when the plastic spring cover becomes dislodged allowing the unwinding of the retractor spring.  In the event of a vehicle crash in which belt restraint is required, failure of a front seat belt would increase the likelihood of injury to the wearer of the seat belt.
- [1985007](/recalls/tc/1985007.md), 1985-01-10: Brakes. On certain vehicles, the rear brake backing plates may develop a corrosion condition which could result in loss of rear brake fluid and loss of rear braking capabilities.  This recall affects vehicles sold in the Maritime provinces only.
- [1983048](/recalls/tc/1983048.md), 1983-05-18: Other. On certain Camaro Z28, the hood inner and outer panels could separate. If separation were to occur while the car is in motion, the hood outer panel could fold back and block the driver's view. This could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning.
