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.

What is wrong

THESE VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 113 - HOOD LATCH SYSTEM. VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN PRODUCED WITH AN IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED SECONDARY HOOD LATCH. AS A RESULT, THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH MAY NOT ENGAGE THE RADIATOR SUPPORT AS INTENDED. THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE HOOD TO OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE HOOD MAY CONTACT THE WINDSHIELD, REDUCING THE FORWARD VISION AREA OF THE DRIVER, AND A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

What the dealer will do

SECONDARY HOOD LATCH WILL BE ADJUSTED.

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.
