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 2008290

15 August 2008

Transport Canada lists: CL Class 2001–2008 · Class 2003–2007 · S Class 2002–2007

What is wrong

Certain vehicles equipped with Active Body Control (ABC) the sensors on the front struts may not operate within tolerances. As such, the sensor signal may not be accurately transmitted to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). A variation in the transmitted values can result in one front strut adjusting to a value while the other does not adjust and presenting the driver with an uneven front suspension. This situation could have an effect on the vehicle's directional stability, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash with injuries or death.

Transport Canada recall 2008089 · manufacturer campaign 2008050001

19 March 2008

Transport Canada lists: CL Class 2008 · S Class 2008

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may have been assembled with an improperly manufactured Signal Acquisition and Actuation Module (SAM-F). This could interrupt electrical supply to, and impede the functioning of, the wiper system, steering wheel adjustment, headlamp and turn signal operation. Loss of wiper function could hamper the driver's visibility, while a loss of headlamp illumination would render the vehicle less visible to other motorists and pedestrians, as well as affecting the driver's visibility during hours of darkness, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash, causing property damage and/or personal injury or death.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the SAM-F module.

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.
