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 lists: 500 2016

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 110 - Tire Selection and Rims. The Tire and Loading Information Label may have incorrect spare tire inflation pressure of 46 psi which exceeds the maximum permissible pressure of 41 psi listed on the sidewall of the spare tire. This could result in spare tire over-inflation, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

A revised Tire and Loading Information Label will be mailed to owners along with instructions for proper installation. If owners are not comfortable installing the label themselves, they can take the label to an FCA dealer for installation.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, clutch diaphragm springs may crack or become damaged, which could result in the driver being unable to shift gears, or potentially result in a loss of motive power. Depending on traffic conditions and the driver’s reactions, these issues could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will install a pedal travel limiter and pedal 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.
