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

- [1996120](/recalls/tc/1996120.md), 1996-08-02: Steering. A PART OF THE STEERING COLUMN UPPER UNIVERSAL JOINT MAY HAVE DEVELOPED CRACKS DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. IF EXPOSED TO HIGH FORCES, SUCH AS FROM SINGLE SIDE CURB CONTACT, THE DEFECTIVE PART OF THE UNIVERSAL JOINT MAY DEVELOP EXCESSIVE TOLERANCES. THIS MAY RESULT IN NOISE AND FREE PLAY IN THE STEERING SYSTEM. IF UNCORRECTED, THE PART MAY FURTHER DETERIORATE AND EVENTUALLY RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. CORRECTION: UNIVERSAL JOINT WILL BE INSPECTED FOR CRACKS AND REPLACED IF NECESSARY.
- [1994004](/recalls/tc/1994004.md), 1994-01-13: Electrical. THE REAR HEATER BLOWER RESISTOR CAN BECOME ELECTRICALLY OVERLOADED DUE TO A BINDING OR SEIZED REAR HEATER BLOWER. THE OVERLOADED RESISTOR CAN CREATE SUFFICIENT HEAT TO IGNITE THE PLASTIC AIR PIPE TO WHICH IT IS CONNECTED AND AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE COULD OCCUR. CORRECTION: A NEW RESISTOR WITH A CIRCUIT BREAKER WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
- [1992126](/recalls/tc/1992126.md), 1992-10-05: Engine. ON VEHICLES WITH CRUISE CONTROL, THE PLASTIC BALL SOCKET ON THE CRUISE  CONTROL LINKAGE CAN BREAK. IF THIS SHOULD OCCUR, THE CRUISE CONTROL  LINKAGE MIGHT BECOME DETACHED ON ONE END AND COULD JAM ON NEARBY  COMPONENTS. THIS COULD IMPAIR THE THROTTLE PLATE OPERATION AND PREVENT  THE ENGINE FROM RETURNING TO IDLE WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE  CONTROL. CORRECTION: NEW CRUISE CONTROL LINKAGE WITH STEEL BALL SOCKETS WILL BE  INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL RELAY  LEVER WILL BE LUBRICATED.
- [1991094](/recalls/tc/1991094.md), 1991-06-18: Fuel System. THE FUEL LINE TO THE REAR FUEL PUMP MAY CONTACT THE BRAKE PAD   WEAR INDICATOR WIRE AND WEAR THROUGH. THIS COULD RESULT IN A FUEL   LEAK AND PRESENT THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE FIRE.  CORRECTION: FUEL LINE WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF   NECESSARY. ALSO, THE FUEL LINE WILL BE REROUTED.
- [1991015](/recalls/tc/1991015.md), 1991-01-18: Structure. THE FRONT HOOD SAFETY LATCH MAY NOT PROPERLY LOCK DUE TO POSSIBLE   INTERFERENCE FROM LUGGAGE WITHIN THE COMPARTMENT AND/OR A PLASTIC   TRIM PIECE SURROUNDING THE LATCH. IF THE SAFETY LATCH IS NOT   PROPERLY LOCKED, AND IF THE FRONT HOOD IS LEFT UNLOCKED OR IS   MISTAKENLY OPENED WHILE DRIVING, THE FRONT HOOD COULD OPEN,   OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S FORWARD VISION AND RESULTING IN AN   ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: PLASTIC TRIM PIECE WILL BE REPLACED AND A BRACKET   WILL BE INSTALLED BEHIND THE SAFETY LATCH TO PREVENT INTERFERENCE   BY LUGGAGE OR OTHER OBJECTS.
