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

- [2024095](/recalls/tc/2024095.md), 2024-02-14: Fuel System. Issue: On certain vehicles, a seal for the suction jet pump inside the fuel tank could fail. As a result, fuel may flow directly into the evaporative emission control system \(EVAP\). If this happens, fuel could leak from the charcoal canister. Note: This problem could cause a fuel odor, the fuel nozzle to stop early and/or fuel to spill when refueling.  Safety Risk: A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire.  Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the suction jet pump.
- [2021326](/recalls/tc/2021326.md), 2021-05-26: Fabrics. Issue: On certain models, the chrome layer could peel off of the trim located around the gear shift cover. If this happens, sharp edges can be created.  Safety Risk: Exposed sharp edges can create the risk of a cut.  Corrective Actions: Volkswagen will contact owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the gear shift cover trim frame.
- [2020353](/recalls/tc/2020353.md), 2020-08-04: Label. Issue: On certain vehicles, the warning label for the engine block heater cable is written in English only. As a result, a French user may not receive important safety information about how to use the engine block heater. A label that is not provided in both official languages could create confusion.  Safety Risk: User confusion could increase the risk of injury when trying to use the block heater.  Corrective Actions: The company will mail each owner a new label for the block heater cable. If you would like help installing the label, you can contact a dealer for assistance.
- [2019423](/recalls/tc/2019423.md), 2019-08-22: Powertrain. Issue: On certain vehicles, a build\-up of silicate on the shift lever switch could cause the transmission to detect that it is in the Park position when it isn't. This could allow the ignition key to be removed when the transmission is not in the Park position. If the parking brake is not applied, this could allow the car to roll away.  Safety Risk: If the transmission position is not displayed correctly, a user may not know that the vehicle is not in the PARK position. If the parking brake is not applied, this  could create a risk of a vehicle roll\-away and increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have a new shift lever micro switch and control unit installed.
- [2019116](/recalls/tc/2019116.md), 2019-03-06: Suspension. Issue: On certain vehicles, the rear suspension coil springs may not have been properly manufactured and could break over time. This could cause damage to a rear tire, resulting in rapid air loss and/or tire failure.  Safety Risk: A rear tire failure could affect vehicle control. Additionally, a broken coil spring could also create a road hazard for other motorists. Both of these conditions may increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have both of the rear axle coil springs replaced. If a broken coil spring is found, the rear tires should be inspected for damage and replaced as required.
- [2018371](/recalls/tc/2018371.md), 2018-07-11: Powertrain. On certain vehicles, the park position switch may malfunction due to a problem with the electrical contacts. This could allow for removal of the ignition key without the shift lever being in the Park \(P\) position. If the parking brake is not applied, this could result in unintended vehicle movement, which could increase the risk of crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install an additional park position switch and circuit board.
- [2017053](/recalls/tc/2017053.md), 2017-02-03: Label. Certain vehicles with factory installed 15\-inch tires may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(CMVSS\) 110 \- Tire Selection and Rims. The certification label incorrectly states the sidewall height for the rear tires, which is contrary to the requirements of the standard. The rear tire specification on the label should read 195/65 R15. Correction: Dealers will install a new tire information label with correct specifications.
