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

- [2001204](/recalls/tc/2001204.md), 2001-08-13: Other. Certain passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, and light and medium duty pickup trucks. A switch located in the plastic cover of the wiper motor gear case could malfunction and overheat, potentially resulting in loss of intermittent wiper function, loss of wiper park function, complete loss of wiper function, smoke or, potentially, ignition of the plastic cover material. Switch malfunction is most likely to occur when the intermittent setting of the wipers is being used, or when snow or ice obstructs the blades from returning to the "parked" position at the bottom of the windshield.  Loss of visibility while driving increases the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the date code on the wiper motor. Motors built with the suspect time frame will have the wiper motor gear case cover replaced.
- [2001163](/recalls/tc/2001163.md), 2001-06-20: Electrical. Certain vehicles have the potential for under hood fire due to defective secondary fuse holders. Correction: dealers will alter the wiring harness.
- [2000303](/recalls/tc/2000303.md), 2000-12-29: Other. Certain limousine vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 110 \- Tire Selection and Rims.  The front axle weight could be such that the "normal load" on the vehicle's tires may exceed 88 percent of the tire maximum load rating.  Correction:  Tires will be replaced with ones that have a sufficiently higher load rating.
- [2000227](/recalls/tc/2000227.md), 2000-10-16: Seats And Restraints. Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements C.M.V.S.S. 209 \- Seat Belt Assemblies.  The seat belt assemblies may not withstand the force requirements of the standard.  In a crash, if the belt buckle fails, there is an increased risk of injury to the occupant. Correction: Belt buckle assemblies will be inspected and replaced if necessary.
