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

- [2016265](/recalls/tc/2016265.md), 2016-05-27: Airbag. On certain vehicles, long\-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the airbag inflator.  Note: Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.
- [2015228](/recalls/tc/2015228.md), 2015-05-27: Airbag. On certain vehicles, the driver frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash \(where deployment is warranted\) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Note: This recall supersedes special service campaign 2015\-003. Correction: Dealers will replace airbag inflators. All vehicles having received a replacement inflator as part of the previous special service campaign will have a replacement inflator installed.
- [2015093](/recalls/tc/2015093.md), 2015-03-03: Airbag. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles \(FCA\) Canada is conducting a voluntary Safety Improvement Program involving Takata driver and/or passenger airbag inflators installed in certain vehicles that were originally sold or ever registered in certain high humidity areas of the United States.  Fiat Chrysler Automobiles \(FCA\) will replace the driver and/or passenger inflator on affected vehicles, depending on the vehicle involved.  Owners who believe their vehicles may have been originally purchased or registered in Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands should contact a Fiat Chrysler Automobile \(FCA\) dealer.  This action is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Note: For the 2003 model year Dodge RAM, only the passenger side inflator would need replacement.  Additional Note: This special service campaign was replaced by recalls 2015094 and 2015228. Please see these recalls for more information:   \<a href="http://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf\-Sec\-Sur/7/VRDB\-BDRV/search\-recherche/detail.aspx?lang=eng\&\&rn=2015094"\>Click here for more information on the 2015094 recall\</a\>   \<a href="http://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf\-Sec\-Sur/7/VRDB\-BDRV/search\-recherche/detail.aspx?lang=eng\&\&rn=2015228"\>Click here for more information on the 2015228 recall\</a\>
- [2015003](/recalls/tc/2015003.md), 2015-01-06: Airbag. Chrysler Canada is conducting a voluntary Safety Improvement Campaign concerning the driver's airbag inflator on certain vehicles equipped with Takata airbags. Chrysler Canada will replace the driver's inflator on affected vehicles. This action is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Note: This special service campaign was replaced by recall 2015228. Please see recall 2015228 for more information:  \<a href="http://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf\-Sec\-Sur/7/VRDB\-BDRV/search\-recherche/detail.aspx?lang=eng\&\&rn=2015228"\>Click here for more information\</a\>
- [2014583](/recalls/tc/2014583.md), 2014-12-19: Powertrain. On certain vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, a defect in the clutch interlock switch could allow the starter to engage without depressing the clutch pedal. If recommended starting procedures are not followed, this could cause unintended vehicle movement, which could result in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the clutch interlock switch.
- [2013395](/recalls/tc/2013395.md), 2013-11-07: Steering. A safety defect may exist in aftermarket steering linkage equipment sold as service replacement parts for 2500 and 3500 4x4 pickup trucks.  If the drag link assemblies in question were installed improperly, the left tie rod ball stud may fracture, potentially resulting in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Chrysler will notify owners of all 2003\-2008 Dodge Ram heavy duty trucks \(other than those covered by recall 2013\-397 \(N49\)\) since those vehicles could potentially have had the affected linkages installed during service.  Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer for inspection and repair if required. Note: This recall supersedes recall 2009\-019 \(H46\).  Parts replaced under the previous campaign will also need to be replaced under this campaign.
- [2011253](/recalls/tc/2011253.md), 2011-07-14: Steering. On certain 2008\-2011 Ram 2500 and 3500 4x4, Ram 3500 cab chassis 4x2 and 4x4, and 2008 Ram 1500 Mega Cab 4x4 vehicles, the left outer tie rod ball stud could fracture.  Additionally, other 2003\-2008 Ram vehicles may have received the affected tie rod as a replacement part during service, and are therefore also involved in this campaign.  Although this condition tends to occur when making a tight turn during low speed parking lot type maneuvers, tie rod failure could result in a loss of directional stability.  A loss of steering control could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the left outer tie rod end and tighten the track bar bolt. Note: The tie rod replacement portion of this recall was superseded by recall 2013\-396.
- [2009081](/recalls/tc/2009081.md), 2009-03-11: Electrical. Certain aftermarket replacement windshield wiper motor assemblies, sold during the '08 and '09 calendar year for use as service equipment on 2002\-2009 Dodge Ram pickup trucks, may be susceptible to water intrusion that could result in partial or complete loss of windshield wiping capability.  Should this occur during a rainy/snowy day, it could increase the risk of a crash, causing property damage, personal injury or death.  Correction: Owners who had windshield wiper motor assemblies serviced during the '08 and '09 calendar year will be requested to take their vehicle to a Chrysler dealer for inspection and repair if required.
- [2009019](/recalls/tc/2009019.md), 2009-01-21: Steering. Defective aftermarket steering drag links many have been sold as service replacement parts for 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks.  The drag link assemblies in question may fracture, which could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash, causing property damage, personal injury or death.  Also, in some cases, the steering damper attaching bracket may yield and shift on the linkage.  This may restrict the ability to turn the vehicle in one direction.  Chrysler will notify owners \(other than those covered by recall 09\-010 \(H36\)\) of all 2003\-2008 Dodge Ram heavy duty trucks since those vehicles could potentially have had the affected linkages installed during service.  Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer for inspection and repair if required.
- [2007032](/recalls/tc/2007032.md), 2007-02-08: Steering. On certain pickup trucks, the front wheel bearings may have received an insufficient quantity of grease during the manufacturing process.  This may result in bearing degradation and eventual hub assembly separation.  Hub assembly separation may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause a crash without warning.  Correction: Dealers will replace the front hub and bearing assemblies.
- [2006216](/recalls/tc/2006216.md), 2006-09-08: Airbag. On certain pickup trucks, if certain model rear facing infant child seats are installed in the right front passenger seating position with the passenger seat in a full forward position and the passenger air bag deploys, the vehicle may not meet requirements for low risk deployments during certain crash conditions.  Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger air bag cushion and reprogram the occupant restraint control module.
- [2006215](/recalls/tc/2006215.md), 2006-09-07: Seats And Restraints. On certain pickup trucks, the right front passenger seat belt assembly may not allow the owner to properly secure some child restraints.  This could result in increased injury risk to the child in certain crash conditions.  Correction: Dealers will replace the right front passenger seat belt assembly.
- [2006038](/recalls/tc/2006038.md), 2006-02-10: Brakes. On certain pickup trucks, the Anti\-lock Brake System \(ABS\) electronic control unit may cause a loss of electronic brake distribution allowing the rear brakes to lock\-up during certain braking conditions.  This could result in a loss of vehicle control and cause a crash without warning.  Correction: Dealers will replace the ABS electronic control unit with a new one containing an integrated circuit that prevents this condition.
- [2005300](/recalls/tc/2005300.md), 2005-10-07: Powertrain. On certain Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 vehicles equipped with NP246 transfer case, the vehicle's Totally Integrated Power Module \(TIPM\) contains an incorrect calibration that could potentially result in inadvertent transfer case default to NEUTRAL.  If this occurs and the park brake is not applied, the vehicle may roll away and cause an accident without warning.  Correction: Dealers will reprogram the TIPM.
