Transport Canada recalls

Powertrain#2017340July 10, 2017
27 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with a 7-speed Auto-Shift Manual (ASM) transmission, due to a lack of support, a connector in the hydraulic system could fail and cause a transmission fluid leak. If this occurs, the driver would be unable to change gears which could, under certain circumstances, increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a support bracket to hold the hydraulic line in position to prevent movement of the assembly.
Powertrain#2017339July 10, 2017
49 units affected
On certain vehicles, a transmission software update may not have been applied correctly which could cause the transmission to go into neutral without warning. This could result in a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will re-install the transmission software update correctly and if necessary, the vehicle clutch system will be repaired or replaced.
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.
Electrical#2014543December 3, 2014
691 units affected
On certain vehicles, a defect in the seat heater wiring could cause the front seat heaters to remain on even when the control switch is in the "off" position. This could cause certain areas of the seats to overheat, which could result in injury to seat occupants and increase the risk of a fire causing damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install an additional module which will isolate power supply in the event of a malfunction.
Powertrain#2014012January 21, 2014
576 units affected
On certain vehicles, the accelerator pedal arm may fail. This would cause the throttle control to return to the idle position, causing a reduction in engine power and propulsive force. Loss of vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the accelerator pedal assembly and adjust the foot well scuff plate. Note: This recall supersedes recalls 2013185 and 2013367. Vehicles that were repaired under the previous campaigns will also need to be repaired under this campaign.
