Transport Canada recall 2014246 · manufacturer campaign 14299

23 June 2014

Transport Canada lists: Allure 2005–2009 · Lucerne 2006–2011 · Deville 2000–2005 · DTS 2006–2011 · and 2 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a defect in the ignition switch could allow the switch to move out of the "run" position if the key ring is carrying added weight or the vehicle goes off-road or is subjected to some other jarring event. If this were to occur, engine power, power steering and power braking would be affected, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. The timing of the key movement out of the “run” position, relative to the activation of the sensing algorithm of the crash event, may also result in the airbags not deploying in a subsequent collision, increasing the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

For each key, dealers will install two key rings and modify the key ring opening shape. Note: Until the correction is performed, all items should be removed from the key ring.

Transport Canada recall 2003165 · manufacturer campaign 03038

2 July 2003

Transport Canada lists: Deville 2002–2003 · STS 2002–2003 · Aurora 2002–2003 · Bonneville 2002–2003

What is wrong

On certain Aurora, Bonneville SSEi, Devile and STS vehicles, the fuel tank pressure sensor is unusually susceptible to malfunctions causing excessive vacuum to be applied during self-diagnostic testing. Fuel system components can be damaged and fuel can leak from the vehicle when it is refueled. Possible symptoms of this condition are illumination of the Service Engine Soon light, poor driveability, increase noise from the fuel tank area, and inaccurate fuel gauge readings. If there is an ignition source present, a fire could result.

What the dealer will do

Dealer will replace the fuel tank pressure sensor.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the driver's side air bag may not deploy as designed, resulting in reduced capability of the air bag to protect the driver. In addition, the air bag inflator may fracture. If this were to occur, pieces of the inflator could strike and injure the vehicle occupants.

What the dealer will do

Dealers are to inspect and if necessary replace the driver side airbag module assembly.
