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

Certain vehicles may have a malfunctioning brake switch. This could allow the shifter lever to be shifted out of the PARK (P) position while the ignition is in the RUN mode without depressing the brake pedal, resulting in unintended vehicle movement. As a result, the rear lights could also remain illuminated, causing the following road users to be unaware of the driver’s intention. These situations could increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the defective brake switch.

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.
