Airbag

Transport Canada recall 2017336 · manufacturer campaign T47

7 July 2017

Transport Canada lists: Journey 2011–2015

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, an electrical short could occur in the steering wheel wiring harness, which could result in an inadvertent deployment of the driver frontal airbag. Unintended airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could startle the driver, which could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause minor injuries to vehicle occupants.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the steering wheel wiring and replace it as necessary. A protective covering will also be installed on the wiring harness.

Steering

Transport Canada recall 2016202 · manufacturer campaign S08

5 May 2016

Transport Canada lists: Journey 2009–2016

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the power steering return hose could rupture at engine start up if the vehicle is exposed to extended cold weather conditions. A power steering hose leak could result in the loss of power steering assist and increased steering effort, which depending on the driver's reactions and traffic conditions, could increase the risk of a crash resulting in injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the return side power steering lines with new parts that are validated for extreme cold weather performance.

Transport Canada lists: Journey 2011–2015

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.4L engine, the engine cover could shift over time due to road vibrations. If the engine cover were to displace, it could result in the cover contacting the exhaust manifold, which could result in a fire, increasing the risk of injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will install an enhanced retaining device to the engine cover.
