Canada: Transport Canada, as of 2026-10-19
20011062001-05-17. Steering. Certain vehicles equipped with TRW brand tie rod model number 24-DL. The tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below specification case depth and/or hardness, which can lead to premature wear of the socket. If this condition occurs, the driver can lose partial control of the right front wheel, possibly resulting in a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the defective ball sockets and/or drag links.
20011042001-05-16. Suspension. On certain vehicles, the rear suspension is regularly subjected to extreme articulation, resulting in flexing of the joint. Failure of the lower sway arm attaching bolts could result with possible loss of vehicle control. Correction: Dealers will replace the lower sway arm brackets.
20010302001-02-08. Electrical. On certain vehicles, the main cab power and battery leads were attached incorrectly to the same side of the 135A circuit breaker when this circuit breaker was mounted in the optional firewall location rather than in the standard battery box location. This condition resulted on the main cab power circuit being unprotected. If a wiring short occurred anywhere along the cab power circuit, the available battery power could arc and cause a possible fire. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and wiring corrected as required.
20000112000-01-11. Steering. On certain vehicles, the drivelines may exceed the 35 degrees in the U-joint angle. This creates the potential of the U-joint contacting the aluminum steering driveline. This contact may result in a notch in the steering driveline, which would result in a stress riser in the shaft. This condition could result in premature failure of the steering driveline and loss of vehicle control. Correction: Aluminum steering driveline will be replaced with a steel version.

A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
