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 a small number of vehicles, the recall repairs completed by a Ford dealer during recall 18S29 (Transport Canada recall no. 2018-555) may not have been done correctly. As a result, a second repair is required. On a small number of vehicles, the rear wing control system could leak hydraulic fluid onto the exhaust.

Why it matters

A hydraulic fluid leak onto the exhaust system could create a fire risk.

What the dealer will do

Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the vehicle dynamics control module software.

9 October 2018

Transport Canada lists: GT 2017–2018

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, hydraulic fluid could leak from the rear wing control system and onto the exhaust. A hydraulic fluid leak onto a hot exhaust surface could increase the risk of a fire, causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update the Vehicle Dynamics Control Module with new software which would eliminate the possibility of excessive pressure in the rear wing valve block assembly. Vehicles that were not built with a hydraulic check valve and filter will be fitted with the hardware, along with hydraulic pump O-rings, if needed.

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.
