Transport Canada recalls

Fuel System#2014449October 9, 2014
59,432 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with 6.7L diesel engines, an electrical connection at the fuel heater could overheat, potentially rendering the heater inoperative and causing a fuel leak and fuel odour. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the fuel heater, and replace it if required, as well as replace the fuel heater wiring harness electrical connector.
Airbag#2014383September 9, 2014
3,945 units affected
Certain vehicles may experience front passenger side curtain and/or seat airbag inadvertent deployments, due to a resonance at the rear quarter panel sensor that can be aggravated by aftermarket installed roof racks & associated ladders/equipment. Unintended airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could startle the driver, which could result in a vehicle crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will update the Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module software.
Electrical#2014167May 8, 2014
106,904 units affected
On certain vehicles, if the vent window switch (located in the driver's door armrest) is exposed to liquids, it could overheat. An overheated vent switch could result in a burning odour, smoke, or fire, increasing the risk of injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the switch with an updated design.
Airbag#2013235July 4, 2013
49,295 units affected
Certain vehicles may experience unintended airbag deployment in some side impact collisions. The airbag on the side opposite to the collision could deploy and could increase the risk of occupant injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module with updated software.
