| None found. |
| 2017248 | 2017-05-10. Brakes. Certain vehicles may have incorrect Electronic Stability Program (ESP) software installed. In the event a driver assist system (e.g. adaptive cruise control) initiates automatic braking and aborts again during the early stage of brake pressure increase, a low residual pressure could remain in the hydraulic brake system. As a result, the braking system could continue applying minimal pressure with the brake pad contacting the rotor, and may heat up when driving is continued. Constant brake pad application over longer periods of driving could lead to the brake fluid heating in the brake caliper, resulting in higher pressure in the brake system. This could reduce brake performance, and increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update the software for the ESP. |

| 2016303 | 2016-06-14. Lights And Instruments. A certain vehicle may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The basic setting of the low beam headlamps may deviate from the tolerance range that is required by the standard. Headlight performance could be reduced, potentially increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the basic setting of headlamps, and correct if necessary. |
| 2016233 | 2016-05-17. Steering. Certain vehicles may have been assembled with improperly manufactured rear tie rod lock nuts. This could cause the rear tie rods to become loose resulting in a change in the alignment, affecting steering control and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the defective rear tie rod lock nuts. |
| 2016156 | 2016-04-13. Electrical. On certain vehicles, the backup power supply feed for the ignition switch may have been incorrectly connected at the time of production. In the event of a loss of main battery power and an engine stop with the transmission out of park and the electric parking brake not applied, without the backup power supply the transmission would not be able to shift to Park ( P ). This could result in the vehicle being inoperable without any way of keeping it stationary other than applying the brakes which, under certain circumstances, could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will adapt the wiring harness and update the Software Calibration Number ( SCN ) coding. |
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.
