New vehicle recalls in Canada: week of 31 August 2026

Transport Canada issued 11 recalls in the week of 31 August 2026, covering 12 manufacturers.

Published 6 September 2026

Transport Canada issued 11 vehicle recalls in the week of 31 August 2026, covering about 33,748 vehicles in Canada. The systems involved: powertrain, engine, structure, label, high voltage, brakes.

Good news: If one of these covers your vehicle, the repair is almost certainly free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.
