Note: This recall is an expansion of recall HO54 (Transport Canada recall no. 2020-609). Safety Risk: A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. A parked vehicle that moves suddenly could create a risk of a crash or an injury.

Issue: On certain vehicles, the paint on the front axle shafts could delaminate or become damaged by road debris. As a result the axle shaft could corrode. If this happens, the axle shafts could break and cause a loss of power to the wheels. Also, if this happens and the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could roll away.

Correction: Dealers will inspect, and replace the battery sensor as necessary.

On certain vehicles, the fuel tank may have been manufactured incorrectly and could leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel tank.
