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 airbag sensors may not be properly attached to the chassis. This could cause the airbag system not work as designed in a crash.

Why it matters

An airbag system that does not work properly in a crash could create an increased risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the airbag sensors fasteners inspected. Dealers will ensure the fasteners are properly tightened.

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.
