What is wrong

This recall is for aftermarket replacement rear window glass produced by Vitro Automotriz. Certain rear window glass may not have been properly tempered. If the window breaks, the glass may separate into large pieces instead of very small ones. Note: This is a voluntary recall that is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Why it matters

Glass that breaks in to large pieces could create a risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify consumers by mail and instruct them to inspect the designation code marked on the rear window glass. Products affected by this recall have the designation “DOT 287” along with the lettering “VMR” (Replacement Market) and a date code that is before July 2019. This information is printed on the bottom corner of the glass. Consumers should contact Vitro's customer service at 1-412-995-6457 or argbacklites@vitro.com to arrange for replacement of the glass.

Transport Canada recall 2015118 · manufacturer campaign 15176

18 March 2015

Transport Canada lists: Malibu 2013–2015

What is wrong

Certain vehicles equipped with power-operated sunroof systems may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 118 - Power-Operated Window, Partition and Roof Panel Systems. The roof panels could close automatically when the non-recessed portion of the “Slide” or “Tilt” switches are pressed and the roof panel is open, which is contrary to the standard. The switch could be more susceptible to an inadvertent actuation, which could result in unintended auto-closure of the roof panel, increasing the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update the Body Control Module (BCM), which will remove the "one touch" (momentary actuation) feature for certain switch positions.

14 May 2014

Transport Canada lists: Malibu 2014

What is wrong

Certain vehicles equipped with a 2.5L engine and Auto Stop/Start fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 135 - Light Vehicle Brake Systems. If the vehicle experiences a complete loss of brake vacuum assist, the hydraulic boost assist can be disabled, which would cause the vehicle to fail to meet the requirements of the standard. This would also increase brake pedal effort and vehicle's stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update recalibrate the electronic brake control module.

9 May 2014

Transport Canada lists: Lacrosse 2014 · Malibu 2014

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front brake assembly may have been equipped with a rear brake rotor instead of a front one. During braking, higher heat will be generated by the thinner rear brake rotor which will significantly shorten the brake pad life. As the pads and rotor wear, the outer brake pad may come disengaged resulting in reduced brake system performance increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect both front brake rotors, and install new rotors and brake pads if necessary.

Transport Canada lists: Regal 2014 · Verano 2014 · Cruze 2014 · Impala 2014 · and 1 more

What is wrong

Certain vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 102 - Transmission Control Functions and CMVSS 114 - Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention. The shift cable adjuster may have been damaged at time of assembly and could disengage, causing the transmission to remain in a gear position different from the one indicated in the instrument panel. If the shift cable were to disengage while driving, upon stopping the vehicle, a driver could move the transmission range selector lever to the PARK position and remove the key, without the transmission being in PARK. If the parking brake is not set, the vehicle could roll, potentially resulting in a crash increasing the risk of injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect and install a revised adjuster and clip if necessary.

13 November 2013

Transport Canada lists: Malibu 2014

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 103 - Windshield Defrosting and Defogging. The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) controls in these vehicles may intermittently become inoperable when the vehicle is started. If this occurs, the HVAC system will remain on the previous settings in place at the time the vehicle was shut off. This could interfere with windshield defrosting and/or defogging, causing reduced visibility and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will reprogram the electronic climate control module.
