Transport Canada recalls

Suspension#2017173March 24, 2017
4,539 units affected
On certain vehicles, the left rear wheel bearing hub locking bolts may not have been properly torqued during assembly. This could cause the bolts to loosen and break, which could allow the wheel assembly to move outwards from the axle housing. If this occurs, the vehicle could become more difficult to control and braking distances would increase which could result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and tighten the rear left wheel bearing hub locking bolts as necessary.
Brakes#2014521November 18, 2014
30 units affected
On certain vehicles, the brake lamp switch can bend and/or corrode. In some circumstances, the ABS or the Brake Warning lamp may illuminate. Bending or corrosion to the brake lamp switch could lead to inoperative brake lamps, which could increase the risk of crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will apply a protector and waterproof cover with an extension harness to prevent bending and corrosion.
Electrical#2014143April 22, 2014
15 units affected
On certain vehicles, an electrical contact within the horn contact shaft may bend or wear prematurely, causing the horn to become inoperable. An inoperable horn may not be available in an emergency, which could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the horn contact shaft and lubricate and/or repair as necessary.
