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

- [1989099](/recalls/tc/1989099.md), 1989-07-13: Emissions. THESE VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 1103 \-  EXHAUST EMISSIONS. THE CENTRAL FUEL INJECTOR \(CFI\) MAY OPERATE RICH DURING CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS. CORRECTION: IMPROVED CFI FUEL INJECTORS WILL BE INSTALLED AND IDLE SPEED WILL BE ADJUSTED.
- [1987047](/recalls/tc/1987047.md), 1987-05-06: Suspension. BECAUSE OF THE FRICTIONAL HEAT GENERATED BY THE HIGH SPEED LUG NUT INSTALLATION PROCESS, THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR THE STAINLESS STEEL NUTS TO GALL AND POSSIBLY SEIZE ON THE WHEEL STUDS WITHOUT PROVIDING ADEQUATE CLAMPING LOAD ON THE WHEELS. THIS COULD CAUSE THE WHEEL STUDS TO FRACTURE IN SERVICE CREATING A RISK OF A WHEEL SEPARATING FROM THE VEHICLE WITH LITTLE FOREWARNING.  CORRECTION: WHEEL LUG NUTS WILL BE REPLACED AND IF NECESSARY, WHEELS AND WHEEL STUDS WILL BE REPLACED.
- [1987009](/recalls/tc/1987009.md), 1987-01-28: Other. NOTE: VEHICLES WITH 2.3 LITRE E.F.I. ENGINES. THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S.115 \- VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. \- ENGINE TYPE \(8TH POSITION\) AND CHECK DIGIT \(9TH POSITION\) CODE CHARACTERS ARE INCORRECT.
