Transport Canada recall 2019420

21 August 2019

Transport Canada lists: Rainier 2004–2007 · Terraza 2005–2007 · Escalade 2007–2018 · Equinox 2010–2017 · and 60 more

What is wrong

This recall is for aftermarket replacement rear window glass produced by Vitro Automotriz. Certain rear window glass may not have been properly tempered. If the window breaks, the glass may separate into large pieces instead of very small ones. Note: This is a voluntary recall that is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Why it matters

Glass that breaks in to large pieces could create a risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify consumers by mail and instruct them to inspect the designation code marked on the rear window glass. Products affected by this recall have the designation “DOT 287” along with the lettering “VMR” (Replacement Market) and a date code that is before July 2019. This information is printed on the bottom corner of the glass. Consumers should contact Vitro's customer service at 1-412-995-6457 or argbacklites@vitro.com to arrange for replacement of the glass.

Transport Canada lists: Escalade 2015–2017 · Silverado 2014–2018 · Suburban 2015–2018 · Tahoe 2015–2018 · and 3 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, there could be a reduction in power brake assist due to a decrease in output from the vacuum pump. This could cause a hard brake pedal and an increase in brake pedal effort to stop the vehicle.

Why it matters

A sudden increase in brake pedal force could lead to an increase in stopping distance. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to reprogram the electronic brake control module.

Transport Canada lists: Escalade 2015–2016 · Corvette 2015 · Silverado 2014–2017 · Tahoe 2015–2016 · and 4 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM), which controls airbag and pretensioner deployment, contains a software defect which may prevent the deployment of frontal airbags and pretensioners in certain circumstances. Failure of frontal airbags and seatbelt pretensioners to deploy in a crash (when warranted) could increase the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will reflash the SDM with new software. In vehicles with any previous deployment events recorded in the SDM, the dealers will replace the existing SDM with a new SDM containing the latest software.

Transport Canada lists: Escalade 2015 · Silverado 2015–2016 · Suburban 2015–2016 · Tahoe 2015–2016 · and 2 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with Continental P275/55R20 CrossContact LX20 tires, a manufacturing defect could cause a lack of adhesion between belts in the tire. Affected tires may exhibit localized tread wear, excessive vibration, noise and bulging in the tread area. Continued use could cause the belts to separate, which could lead to full belt/tread loss. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect tire date code markings to determine whether they are from the affected date code. Affected tires will be replaced.

Transport Canada lists: Silverado 2014–2015 · Suburban 2015 · Tahoe 2015 · Sierra 2014–2015 · and 2 more

What is wrong

Certain vehicles equipped with an Automatic Transfer Case may have a condition in which an electric signal short may cause the transfer case to switch to neutral without operator input. The transfer case mode selection knob would still indicate the last selected drive mode, but the driver would not have any feedback that the transfer case is in neutral. If the transfer case switches to neutral while the vehicle is in motion, the driver would experience a loss of motive power and, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could roll away. Both scenarios could result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will re-program the software of the Transfer Case Control Module.

6 June 2014

Transport Canada lists: Silverado 2014–2015 · Suburban 2015 · Tahoe 2015 · Sierra 2014–2015 · and 2 more

What is wrong

Certain vehicles equipped with a base radio and internal amplifier may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 114 - Theft Protection and Rollaway Protection, and CMVSS 208 - Occupant Crash Protection. The radio may become inoperative, causing a no-chime condition and disabling the audible warning if the key is in the ignition and the driver’s door is opened, or if a front outboard seat belt is not buckled. A loss of the seat belt audible warning may increase the likelihood of a front outboard occupant being unbelted, increasing the risk of injury in a crash. Similarly, 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 are to program the radio with updated software.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with 6 speed automatic transmissions, transmission cooler lines may not have been securely seated in their fittings at time of assembly. This could result in a transmission fluid leak in proximity to hot surfaces which could increase the risk of a fire, potentially causing injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect connections and repair as necessary.
