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

THE REAR SEAT LAP BELT MAY NOT RETURN TO THE FULLY RETRACTED POSITION AFTER USE. CONSEQUENTLY, THE BELT MAY NOT BE RELEASED DUE TO THE LOCKING CHARACTERISTICES OF THE AUTOMATIC LOCKING RETRACTOR MECHANISM AND SUBSEQUENT REAR SEAT PASSENGERS MIGHT BE UNABLE TO PROPERLY USE THEIR SEAT BELT.

What the dealer will do

DEALERS WILL INSTALL A BELT GUIDE OR SHEATH, DESIGNED TO DECREASE RETRACTING RESISTANCE AND TO ALLOW FREE BELT MOVEMENT BY MAINTAINING AN OPENING BETWEEN THE SEAT BACK AND SEAT CUSHION.

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.
