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 certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label lists the incorrect capacity for occupants and cargo. This could lead to overloading the vehicle, which can cause poor handling and/or a tire failure.

Why it matters

Poor handling and/or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

General Motors will mail a new tire and loading information label to each owner. If you would like help to install the label, you can contact a GM dealer to have it installed free of charge.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the seat belts may have been installed with the wrong bolts. As a result, the seat belt may not be properly attached and may not work as designed in a crash.

Why it matters

A seat belt that does not work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash.

What the dealer will do

General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the seat belt bolts, as necessary.

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.
