Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always 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.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with Bose audio systems that have separate speaker amplifiers mounted behind the rear seat back. Under high ambient temperature conditions, the amplifier circuit board could develop a short circuit due to electrolyte leakage from a capacitor mounted on the board. If a short circuit occurs, one or more transistors could overheat causing smoke or the possibility of an amplifier fire.

What the dealer will do

Dealer will replace the amplifier circuit board on affected vehicles.

What is wrong

DURING A MINOR FRONTAL COLLISION, THE ENGINE WILL ROCK FORWARD ON THE ENGINE MOUNTS. ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE BRACKET MAY BE DAMAGED AND THE SHIFT LEVER INDICATED POSITION MAY NOT MATCH THE TRANSMISSION GEAR POSITION. THIS COULD RESULT IN UNANTICIPATED MOVEMENT OF THE CAR WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.

What the dealer will do

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
