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 lists: 300ZX 1984 · Micra 1981, 1984 · Pulsar 1984

What is wrong

THE GREASE USED TO LUBRICATE THE HEADLAMP SWITCH WAS FORMULATED INCORRECTLY TO CONTAIN SILICONE. ELECTRICAL ARCING DURING SWITCH OPERATION COULD PRODUCE SILICONE OXIDE DEPOSITS WHICH COULD PREVENT THE SWITCH CONTACT POINTS FROM COMPLETELY CLOSING. THIS COULD RESULT IN EITHER DELAYED OR NON-ILLUMINATION OF ONE OF THE HEAD- LIGHTS WHEN THE SWITCH IS TURNED ON OR DURING DIMMER SWITCH OPERATION.

3 May 1984

Transport Canada lists: 300ZX 1984

What is wrong

THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER HAS A BUILT IN PROPORTIONING VALVE WITH A "C" CLIP, LOCATED AT THE END OF THE VALVE SPOOL, ACTING AS A STOPPER. IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF THE CLIP MAY CAUSE THE CLIP TO DISENGAGE ALLOWING THE VALVE SPOOLS AND COMPONENTS TO BE PUSHED OUT AFTER REPEATED STRONG BRAKE APPLICATION RESULTING IN POSSIBLE LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND BRAKE FUNCTION.

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.
