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

On certain vehicles, the steering gear may contain a gear piston that was assembled with an incorrect re-circulating ball tube retainer. An incorrect retainer may result in an improperly retained re-circulating ball tube, which may not keep the re-circulating balls in place during steering gear actuation. If the re-circulating balls become dislodged, a vehicle operator may notice noise and increased steering efforts that may eventually progress to impaired steering or potential loss of steering control.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering gear.

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.
