What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the driver-front airbag inflator could rupture when the airbag deploys in a crash. If this happens, the airbag may not properly inflate and fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants.

Why it matters

An airbag inflator that ruptures can create a risk of injury or death.

What the dealer will do

General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the driver-front airbag module.

28 April 2016

Transport Canada lists: Sonic 2013–2016 · Spark 2013–2015 · Trax 2013–2016

What is wrong

Certain vehicles equipped with a "Bring Your Own Media" (BYOM) radio may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 114 - Theft Protection and Rollaway Protection. The radio software may fail to provide an audible warning/reminder chime that meets the requirements of the standard if the ignition key is left in the off position and the driver delays opening the driver’s door for more than 10 minutes, or opens and closes the door several times. The loss of an audible warning when a key is left in the ignition may increase the risk of vehicle theft.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will reprogram the radio with corrected operating software.

11 August 2014

Transport Canada lists: Encore 2013 · Ats 2013 · Trax 2013

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front outboard driver and passenger seatbelt pretensioners may not function as designed in the event of a crash. The pretensioners could retract upon deployment but fail to lock in the retracted position, allowing the seat belt to return to the original position. This could increase the risk of injury in a crash that warrants seatbelt pretensioner deployment.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace affected pretensioners.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the hook bracket assembly for either front seat may have been manufactured with an incomplete weld. If the weld is incomplete and the assembly is exposed to a high load condition, the hook may separate from the seat track. This could increase the risk of occupant injury during a crash.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the weld, and if necessary, replace the lower seat track.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, insulation on the engine block heater power cord may become damaged if the cord is handled during very cold days (temperatures below -25C). This could create an electrical shock hazard, which could result in personal injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the block heater cord.

Brakes

Transport Canada recall 2014115 · manufacturer campaign 14107

7 April 2014

Transport Canada lists: Trax 2013–2014

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the left front brake line may have been routed incorrectly and may come into contact with the transmission cooler outlet pipe, causing abrasion damage which could result in a brake fluid leak. This could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect and reroute and/or replace the brake line, as necessary.
