Transport Canada recall 2021636

18 October 2021

Transport Canada lists: Chevrolet 2020–2021 · Traverse 2020–2021

What is wrong

On a small number of vehicles converted for wheelchair access by BraunAbility, a screw that supports the left-front wheel well liner may contact and damage the transmission case. If this happens, transmission fluid could leak and eventually cause a loss of power to the wheels.

Why it matters

A transmission fluid leak onto a hot surface can create the risk of a fire. Additionally, a loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

BraunAbility will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the affected screw and clip with a nylon rivet. The dealer will also inspect the transmission case for fluid leaks and repair it, as necessary.

Why it matters

A tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
