Transport Canada recalls

Steering#2018724December 20, 2018
22,346 units affected
On certain vehicles originally sold or currently registered in areas of heavy road salt usage during winter months (Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador), the bolts that attach the electric power steering assist motor to the steering gear housing may corrode and break. This could cause a loss of power steering assist. The resulting increase in steering effort could create the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the mounting bolts and apply a corrosion protection coating to the gear housing and bolts. If the bolts bolt cannot be removed, a replacement steering gear will be installed.
Structure#2017642December 19, 2017
2,243 units affected
Certain vehicles may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 206 – Door Lock and Door Retention Components. The left (driver's side) door locks may indicate a locked position, even when the door is not locked, which is contrary to the requirements of the standard. Correction: Dealers will inspect the left door locks, and replace them as necessary.
Steering#2017555November 15, 2017
3 units affected
On certain vehicles, a bracket for a transistor in the power steering control unit may break due to vibrations and temperature variations during vehicle operation. If the bracket were to break, the control unit may disable the power steering assist, which could unexpectedly increase steering effort, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the steering rack and replace it, if necessary.
Seats And Restraints#2017205April 11, 2017
2,259 units affected
Certain vehicles may have been equipped with front seat belt pretensioner igniters that do not meet specifications. This could cause the affected pretentioners to fail to deploy properly in the event of a crash (where deployment is warranted), which could increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will replace the affected front seat belt pretentioners.
