Transport Canada recalls
20- Lights And Instruments#2026165
3,503 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the turn signal telltale to flash at the same speed as when a rear turn signal bulb fails. As a result, you may not notice when a rear turn signal bulb is not working. Canadian regulations require a change in the turn signal flash rate when a bulb fails. Safety Risk: A turn signal telltale that doesn't work properly could cause you to be unaware when a turn signal bulb fails. Turn signals that don't work may cause a person not to recognize when a driver intends to turn or change lanes. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and send a wireless over-the-air software update to eligible vehicles to update the exterior lighting control module software. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the update performed at a GM dealership.
- Fuel System#2025429
1,801 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, fuel could spill in the fuel filler pocket when refueling. As a result, fuel could leak onto the left-side radiator and fan assembly. If this happens, the fuel could contact hot surfaces in the engine compartment. Safety Risk: A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install a shield to divert spilled fuel.
- Steering#2025144
38 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, a problem with the power steering system could cause it to turn off while driving. The power steering assist may return when the vehicle is restarted. Note: This is an expansion of recall N182182760 (Transport Canada recall no. 2019-056). Safety Risk: A loss of power steering assist would result in a sudden increase in steering effort, especially at low vehicle speeds. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the power steering gear assembly.
- Seats And Restraints#2024326
1,115 units affected
Issue: Under certain conditions, the driver and/or passenger seat belt(s) could remain locked after use. If this happens, the driver and/or passenger may not be able to use the seat belt(s). Note: These parts that may have been installed on new vehicles or sold as an accessory part through General Motor dealerships. Safety Risk: Not wearing a seat belt can increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the driver and/or passenger seat belt retractor(s).
- Lights And Instruments#2024060
273,306 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the lower beam headlamps not to turn on as it becomes dark outside if the multi-function switch is in the "OFF" or "PARKING LAMP" position. This could also cause the daytime running lamps (DRLs) to turn off when the vehicle is moving. As a result, the vehicles may not meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations. Safety Risk: Headlamps and/or DRLs that don't turn on could reduce visibility, make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the body control module (BCM)software.
- Airbag#2021348
16,400 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the airbag warning light not to turn on when there is a fault in the airbag system. As a result, a driver might not be alerted of the problem and the airbags may not work properly in a crash. Safety Risk: An airbag system that does not work properly could create an increased risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and send a wireless over-the-air software update to each vehicle. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the update performed by a dealer.
- Brakes#2020452
404 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, a sensor in the electronic brake boost system may have a bad connection. Under certain driving conditions, this could cause a loss of brake assist. If this happens, there would be a sudden increase in brake pedal force required to slow or stop the vehicle. Safety Risk: Reduced brake performance can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the electronic brake boost module.
- Structure#2020384
880 units affected
Issue: If the front trunk release button on the key fob is accidentally pressed while the vehicle is parked, the front trunk lid can open. If a driver ignores the visual and audible warnings, the vehicle could be driven with a front trunk that is not latched closed. If this happens, wind force could cause the hood to open suddenly while driving at higher speeds. Safety Risk: If the hood opens while driving, it could block the driver's view and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will send a wireless over-the-air update to each vehicle. This will allow you to update the Body Control Module software without having to bring the vehicle to a dealership. The update will limit the vehicle's speed when the hood is not completely closed and latched. The update will also modify the hood release on the key fob and the interior hood release buttons to require a longer press time. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the update performed by a dealer. General Motors will also mail a copy of this recall notice to all owners.
- Other#2020363
653 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the trunk release button that is located inside the front trunk compartment may not work properly. Specifically, ten minutes after the vehicle is powered off, the release may not work. This could prevent a person that is trapped inside the trunk from opening it. Safety Risk: If a person is closed inside the trunk compartment, they may not be able to get out. This could create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: General Motors will send a wireless over-the-air update to each vehicle. This will allow you to update the Body Control Module software without having to bring the vehicle to a dealership. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the update performed by a dealer. General Motors will also mail a copy of this recall notice to all owners.

Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the power steering gear assembly replaced.
- Airbag#2018288
45 units affected
On certain Corvette ZR1 models, a fault in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM), which controls the airbag system, may make it unable to detect a crash or deploy the airbags. This creates an increased risk of injury in a crash. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the SDM with updated software to correct this problem.
- Airbag#2017342
152 units affected
On certain vehicles, the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM), which controls airbag and pretensioner deployment, contains a software defect which may prevent the deployment of frontal airbags and pretensioners in certain circumstances. Failure of frontal airbags and seatbelt pretensioners to deploy in a crash (when warranted) could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will reflash the SDM with new software. In vehicles with any previous deployment events recorded in the SDM, the dealers will replace the existing SDM with a new SDM containing the latest software.
- Airbag#2016439
362,263 units affected
On certain vehicles, the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM), which controls airbag and pretensioner deployment, contains a software defect which may prevent the deployment of frontal airbags and pretensioners in certain circumstances. Failure of frontal airbags and seatbelt pretensioners to deploy in a crash (when warranted) could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will reflash the SDM with new software.

Note: This recall affects 2014-2017 model year Sierra LD/Silverado LD models and 2015-2016 model year Sierra HD/Silverado HD model vehicles.
- Suspension#2015023
1 units affected
On certain vehicles, the right rear toe link outer ball joint may not have been properly fastened to the knuckle. This may result in rear suspension noise, particularly when travelling around corners or over bumps or potholes. Over time, if the vehicle is continually operated with this condition, the toe link could separate from the knuckle, causing sudden vehicle instability and increasing the risk of a crash causing personal injury or property damage. Dealers will inspect and replace any damaged parts as necessary. If no damage is noted, the dealer will reassemble the toe link with a new fastener and tighten to specification.
- Airbag#2014407
2 units affected
On certain vehicles, a defect in the driver frontal airbag could allow the airbag to separate from its backing plate upon deployment, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant in a crash where airbag deployment is warranted. Correction: Dealers will replace the airbag.
- Brakes#2014405
9 units affected
Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 135 - Brake Systems. One of the parking brake cables may not have been installed correctly, which would result in the parking brake being operational on one rear wheel only, causing a reduction in parking brake performance and causing the vehicle to fail to meet the requirements of the standard. This could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, re-install the park brake cable.
- Suspension#2014253
33 units affected
On certain vehicles, an improper weld on the rear shock absorbers may lead to separation of the shock absorber tube from the shock absorber clevis bracket. If such a separation was to occur, a sudden change of vehicle handling behaviour would result that may startle drivers, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace both rear shock absorbers.
- Airbag#2014240
61 units affected
Certain vehicles equipped with optional sport seats may pose a greater risk of neck injury for small children who are unbelted, out-of-position, and leaning against the side airbag in the event of a crash involving a side airbag deployment. Note: Drivers should not allow a small child to sit in the passenger seat until recall repairs are completed. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger side airbag.
- Airbag#2014215
3 units affected
On certain vehicles, an internal fault in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module may set a diagnostic trouble code, illuminating the airbag warning lamp and disabling the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners. The occupant sensing passenger airbag light would also not illuminate. This could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the Sensing and Diagnostic Module.
- Other#2011357
218 units affected
Certain vehicles fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 206 - Door Locks and Door Retention Components. Specifically, the rear hatch hinges may not meet the load requirements of the Standard. Should the rear hatch separate from the vehicle during a crash, it could strike another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the rear hatch hinges.
