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

- [2014134](/recalls/tc/2014134.md), 2014-04-15: Visual System. Certain vehicles may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 205 \- Glazing Materials.  The lower edge of the center sun\-shade area of the windshield is not marked in accordance with the requirements of the standard. Correction:  No corrective recall action is required as this technical non\-compliance is deemed to be non\-safety related.
- [2012242](/recalls/tc/2012242.md), 2012-07-30: Other. On certain vehicles, the wiper arm pivot pins could become loose, causing noisy wiper operation and inconsistent clearing of the windshield. Continued usage could cause the driver and/or passenger side wiper arm to separate, resulting in a loss of wiper function on that side. Loss of windshield wiping function, should it occur during a rainy/snowy day, may compromise the driver's ability to see the road and its users, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will replace the wiper arm assemblies.
