Transport Canada recalls

Seats And Restraints#2024120February 23, 2024
12 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the seat belt reminder chime may not work when you start the vehicle and your seat belt is not buckled. Canadian regulations require both a seat belt reminder sound and visual telltale when a driver is not wearing their seat belt. Safety Risk: A seat belt warning that doesn't work correctly may not remind you to buckle your seat belt. Not wearing your seat belt can increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: Bugatti will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the instrument cluster software.
Lights And Instruments#2020620December 16, 2020
5 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, if the Drive Mode selector switch is set to Handling Mode ("Flag" icon selected), the electronic stability control (ESC) system will not return to the default setting the next time the car is started. Canadian regulations require the ESC system to be fully active each time the vehicle is started. Safety Risk: An ESC system that is not fully active could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Bugatti will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to reprogram the ESC software and update the owner manuals.
