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 recall 2016439 · manufacturer campaign 16007

9 September 2016

Transport Canada lists: Encore 2014–2017 · LaCrosse 2014–2016 · Escalade 2015–2016 · Corvette 2014–2017 · and 8 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. Note: This recall affects 2014-2017 model year Sierra LD/Silverado LD models and 2015-2016 model year Sierra HD/Silverado HD model vehicles.

Transport Canada recall 2014230 · manufacturer campaign 14235

12 June 2014

Transport Canada lists: LaCrosse 2014

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 114 - Theft Protection and Rollaway Protection, and/or CMVSS 118 - Power-Operated Window, Partition and Roof Panel Systems. A wiring splice in the driver's door may corrode and break, allowing the power windows and sunroof (if equipped) to function temporarily with the key removed, increasing the risk of injury to unsupervised occupants. This could also disable the audible warning if the key is in the ignition, increasing the risk of theft and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers are to inspect the door wiring harness and install a splice if necessary.

Brakes

Transport Canada recall 2014168 · manufacturer campaign 14128

9 May 2014

Transport Canada lists: LaCrosse 2014 · Malibu 2014

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front brake assembly may have been equipped with a rear brake rotor instead of a front one. During braking, higher heat will be generated by the thinner rear brake rotor which will significantly shorten the brake pad life. As the pads and rotor wear, the outer brake pad may come disengaged resulting in reduced brake system performance increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect both front brake rotors, and install new rotors and brake pads if necessary.

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.
