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

- [2018043](/recalls/tc/2018043.md), 2018-01-22: Electrical. On certain vehicles equipped with an IOTA 50 amp transfer switch which is used to switch power between on\-vehicle generator and shoreline power. Under certain heavy duty cycles, the lugs on the buss bar may loosen. Under high electrical loads, loose electrical connections could cause the circuit to overheat, which would increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the IOTA switch.
- [2005182](/recalls/tc/2005182.md), 2005-06-20: Fuel System. On certain pick\-up trucks and chassis cab vehicles equipped with 5.4L and 6.8L gasoline engines, a fuel jumper line may separate from the connection to the main fuel bundle.  If the fuel line separates, an operator may notice a gasoline odour and/or fuel on the ground, loss of power, and eventual engine stall.  A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.  Correction: Dealers will install an external retention clip at the fuel jumper line to main fuel bundle connection.
- [2005093](/recalls/tc/2005093.md), 2005-04-04: Steering. On certain vehicles, the steering gear may contain a gear piston that was assembled with an incorrect re\-circulating ball tube retainer.  An incorrect retainer may result in an improperly retained re\-circulating ball tube, which may not keep the re\-circulating balls in place during steering gear actuation.  If the re\-circulating balls become dislodged, a vehicle operator may notice noise and increased steering efforts that may eventually progress to impaired steering or potential loss of steering control.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering gear.
