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.

Transport Canada recall 2017494 · manufacturer campaign T56

12 October 2017

Transport Canada lists: 200 2012–2013 · Avenger 2012–2013 · Liberty 2012

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, there could be an electrical condition within the Occupant Restraint Control ("ORC") module. This may result in the airbag warning lamp illuminating, and the active head restraints not to deploy during certain rear impact collisions, which could increase the risk of injury to front seat occupants.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the ORC part number and replace the ORC if necessary. Note: Vehicles that have been previously repaired with the updated ORC under recall 2016-448 will not require repairing under this recall campaign.

Transport Canada lists: 200 2011–2014 · Sebring 2010 · Avenger 2010–2014 · Caliber 2010–2012 · and 2 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles in certain types of crashes, airbag and seatbelt pretensioner deployment capability may be lost due to a short in the front impact sensor wiring affecting Occupant Restraint Controller function. Failure of airbags and seatbelt pretensioners to deploy in a crash (when warranted) could increase the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the Occupant Restraint Controller module.

Transport Canada lists: 200 2011–2013 · Sebring 2011–2013 · Avenger 2011–2013 · Nitro 2011–2012 · and 1 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the airbag warning lamp may illuminate due to an electrical fault within the Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module. As a result, the Active Head Restraints (AHR) may not deploy during a rear impact collision (where deployment is warranted), which could increase the risk of personal injury to the front seat occupants.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will reprogram the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) or replace the ORC module, as required.

27 September 2011

Transport Canada lists: 200 2012 · Town & Country 2012 · Charger 2012 · Durango 2012 · and 3 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a 3.6L engine, debris in the cylinder block (from the manufacturing process) could cause connecting rod bearing and crankshaft bearing damage. As a result, abnormal engine performance may be noticed, and in some cases the engine could fail. Engine failure would result in lost vehicle propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and driver reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the engine assembly.

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.
