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: Express 2022–2023 · Savana 2022–2023

What is wrong

Under certain conditions, a software problem could cause the transmission control module not to work correctly. As a result, there could be reduced power to the wheels, the transmission could shift harshly and/or the rear wheels could lock up. Additionally, at low speeds, this problem could cause the vehicle to move in an unintended direction. Note: This recall only affects vehicles with certain engine and transmission combinations.

Why it matters

Rear wheels that lock suddenly could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a vehicle that moves in the unintended direction could also increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

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

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.
