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

- [2026251](/recalls/tc/2026251.md), 2026-05-21: Seats And Restraints. Issue: On certain vehicles, the weight sensor for the front passenger seat may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the passenger\-front airbag and knee airbag could deploy in a crash that doesn't require them to. Note: This recall is an expansion of Transport Canada recall no. 2024\-059. If the weight sensor fails, the SRS warning light would turn on in the instrument panel.  Safety Risk: An airbag system that doesn't work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash.  Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the passenger\-front seat weight sensor.
- [2016355](/recalls/tc/2016355.md), 2016-07-08: Lights And Instruments. Certain two\-door vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(CMVSS\) 108 \- Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. Some taillight assemblies may have a damaged rear LED side marker light, making it inoperable and are therefore not compliant with the requirements of the standard. This could reduce vehicle conspicuity, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect, and, if necessary, replace the tail light assembly.
- [2016047](/recalls/tc/2016047.md), 2016-02-01: Engine. On certain vehicles equipped with 2.0L engines, a piston pin circlip may not have been installed or may have been improperly installed into the piston during assembly. If the circlip is not properly installed, over the course of engine operation, the piston pin will rub against the cylinder wall causing noise and damage, or in the worst case, the piston pin may detach from one side of the piston and cause an engine failure. Engine damage will eventually result in the engine stalling.  Engine stalling would result in a loss of motive power; an engine failure would result in a sudden loss of motive power and may result in an under hood fire.  These potential outcomes in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect, and repair as necessary.
