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 decorative chrome door handle covers, sold as aftermarket accessories through Ford dealers, may affect compliance to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 206 – Door Lock and Door Retention Components. These accessories may cause the door handles to fail to conform to the inertial load requirements of the standard. A door handle fitted with a chrome cover could unlatch due to inertial loads during a side impact crash if the door were unlocked, which would increase the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Covers will be removed from vehicles and owners will be reimbursed for parts and labour.

Transport Canada lists: F-150 2017 · F-550 Chassis Cab 2017

What is wrong

Certain vehicles equipped with a manual-recline driver seat may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 202 - Head Restraints and CMVSS 207 - Anchorage of Seats. Due to a manufacturing error, the recliner mechanism may have been incorrectly welded to the seat-back frame, which would result in the seat failing to meet the requirements of the standards. This could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant in the event of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the front driver seat back frame build date and replace as necessary.

What is wrong

Certain vehicles equipped with a 6.8L gasoline engine, 4x4 drive, 205” wheel base and 4.88 axle ratio may experience a driveline vibration caused by a powertrain resonance at speeds above 120 km/h. Continued operation of a vehicle at these speeds could result in a resonance frequency that may fracture transmission and/or driveline components. If the transmission and or driveline components were to fracture, it could result in a loss of motive power while the vehicle is in motion, or unintended vehicle movement in Park if the parking brake is not applied, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the two-piece driveshaft with a new three-piece driveshaft and two center bearing brackets.

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.
