New vehicle recalls in Canada: week of 14 September 2026

Transport Canada issued 2 recalls in the week of 14 September 2026, covering 3 manufacturers.

Published 20 September 2026

Transport Canada issued 2 vehicle recalls in the week of 14 September 2026, covering about 2,462 vehicles in Canada. The systems involved: high voltage.

Good news: If one of these covers your vehicle, the repair is almost certainly 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 recall 2026442

On certain vehicles, the DC/DC converter could fail. As a result, the 12 V battery would not charge and a red "Stop Safely Electrical Fault Detected" warning message would be displayed. If this happens, and you continue to drive the vehicle, there could be a loss of power to the wheels and/or the vehicle's lights could turn off. Note: This recall is an expansion of Transport Canada recall no. 2026-196. Vehicles repaired under that recall don't require this repair. This recall only affects certain mild hybrid electric vehicles (MHEV).

A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Exterior lights that don't work may make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do: Land Rover will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the vehicle load balancing software.
