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

Certain vehicles may have a malfunctioning brake switch. This could allow the shifter lever to be shifted out of the PARK (P) position while the ignition is in the RUN mode without depressing the brake pedal, resulting in unintended vehicle movement. As a result, the rear lights could also remain illuminated, causing the following road users to be unaware of the driver’s intention. These situations could increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the defective brake switch.

Transport Canada lists: Wrangler 2017

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the fuel tank control valve may have been improperly manufactured. An inoperative fuel tank control valve may result in debris in the fuel tank, the ability to overfill the fuel tank during refuelling and/or a fuel leak during a vehicle rollover event. A fuel leak during a vehicle rollover event, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the fuel tank control valve. Vehicles found with an improperly manufactured fuel tank control valve will have the fuel tank assembly and fuel pump module replaced.

11 October 2016

Transport Canada lists: Wrangler 2016–2017

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the headlamps could rotate during a crash, which could cause the wiring to the front impact sensor to detach prior to a signal being recorded by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). This could result in non-deployment of airbags and pretensioners during a crash where deployment is warranted, which could increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will modify the front impact sensor wiring harness and re-route and secure it.

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.
