## 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.
- [1990091](/recalls/tc/1990091.md), 1990-06-19: Seats And Restraints. On certain vehicles, the seat belt buckle assemblies may not latch or release due to fracture of the red push button.  This would prevent a person from using his or her seat belt thereby increasing the risk of injury in the event of a sudden stop or collision.  Correction:  Seat belt buckles will be inspected and defective assemblies will be replaced.
- [1986051](/recalls/tc/1986051.md), 1986-05-06: Lights And Instruments. On certain vehicles, the push\-pull headlight switch may have been manufactured with electrical contacts which allow an intermittent headlight circuit. An intermittent circuit could cause the headlights to suddenly go out. Under severe weather or nighttime driving conditions, driver visibility could be reduced, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
