Transport Canada recalls

Powertrain#2017639December 18, 2017
331 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with the 6-speed Touchtronic II automatic transmission, the Engine Control Module software may not communicate correctly with the Transmission Control Module when the key is removed from the docking station. If this occurs, the transmission park pawl may not engage properly, which could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will update the Transmission Control Module software.
Other#2016374July 26, 2016
615 units affected
Certain vehicles fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 206 – Door Lock and Door Retention Components. These vehicles have a double locking feature that will not let the doors be opened by an occupant inside the vehicle unless the unlock button is pressed on the vehicle key. As a result, occupants may be at a greater risk of being locked in the vehicle in an emergency situation. Correction: Dealers will update the vehicle’s software to disable the double locking feature.
Powertrain#2014313July 23, 2014
34 units affected
On certain vehicles, a defect in the transmission control switch could cause the transmission to shift to the neutral gear position without driver input, resulting in a loss of motive power. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace affected transmission control switches.
