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

- [2000273](/recalls/tc/2000273.md), 2000-11-20: Suspension. On certain vehicles, the front suspension lower ball joints may not have been tightened to specifications during manufacture.  This could result in loosening of the attaching nuts and, ultimately result in a fracture of the ball joint stud.  This could adversely affect vehicle control and a crash could occur.  Should the left side ball joint fracture, the wheel and tire could contact the fuel lines or the fuel filter potentially resulting in fuel leakage.  Correction:  Ball joint torque will be inspected and vehicles with loose ball joints will either have the fasteners tightened to specification or if necessary, the ball joints will be replaced.
