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

- [2019388](/recalls/tc/2019388.md), 2019-08-08: Lights And Instruments. Issue: On certain vehicles, the front amber side reflex reflector does not meet the requirements of Canadian regulations.  Safety Risk: This may cause the vehicle to be less visible to others and could create an increased risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the headlight assemblies.
- [2018422](/recalls/tc/2018422.md), 2018-08-09: Powertrain. Certain vehicles may have been built with a defective powertrain controller. If the powertrain controller fails while driving the engine may stall, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the powertrain controller.
- [2018421](/recalls/tc/2018421.md), 2018-08-09: Brakes. On certain vehicles, a problem with the brake system may cause gas bubbles to form in the brake fluid. This could cause a soft brake pedal feel and a reduction in brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will bleed the rear brakes as necessary.
- [2018325](/recalls/tc/2018325.md), 2018-06-15: Other. Certain vehicles equipped with a rearview mirror backup camera display may fail to conform to the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(CMVSS\) 111 – Mirrors and Rear Visibility Systems. The cautionary message text in the rearview image display may temporarily reduce the field of view, which is contrary to the requirements of the standard. This could increase the risk of property damage or injury to nearby pedestrians in the event the driver does not check surroundings through traditional means. Correction: Dealers will replace the rearview mirror.
- [2018324](/recalls/tc/2018324.md), 2018-06-15: Other. Certain vehicles equipped with a rearview mirror backup camera display may fail to conform to the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(CMVSS\) 111 – Mirrors and Rear Visibility Systems. Some conditions may cause the system not to display a rearview image, which is contrary to the requirements of the standard. This could increase the risk of property damage or injury to nearby pedestrians in the event the driver does not check surroundings through traditional means. Correction: Dealers will replace the rearview mirror.
- [2018269](/recalls/tc/2018269.md), 2018-05-17: Engine. On certain vehicles, an electronic fault may create a situation where the cruise control cannot be deactivated. If this occurs and the driver does not apply the brakes or shift the transmission to neutral, the vehicle could maintain speed or accelerate without warning, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the Powertrain Control Module \(PCM\) software and perform an update as necessary. Note: In the interim, owners are advised not to use the cruise control until the vehicle is repaired.
