Transport Canada recall 2017660 · manufacturer campaign T80
21 December 2017
Transport Canada lists: Dakota 2005
On certain vehicles equipped with heated seats, the driver and/or passenger heated seat cushion or seat back may overheat. This could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant and increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property.
Dealers will enhance the seat heating system to include updated control features.

On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury.
Dealers will replace the airbag inflator. Note: Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.
Transport Canada recall 2015228 · manufacturer campaign R25
27 May 2015

On certain vehicles, the driver frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Note: This recall supersedes special service campaign 2015-003.
Dealers will replace airbag inflators. All vehicles having received a replacement inflator as part of the previous special service campaign will have a replacement inflator installed.
Transport Canada recall 2005299 · manufacturer campaign E14

On certain vehicles, the cup plug which retains the park pawl anchor shaft in the 42RLE automatic transmission could be missing or not properly staked in its bore, potentially allowing the shaft to move out of position and preventing the transmission from being placed in the PARK position. If this occurs and the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle may roll away and cause an accident without warning.
Dealers will install a bracket to ensure that the park pawl anchor shaft is retained in the proper position.

Transport Canada lists: Dakota 2005
On certain vehicles, the attachment fasteners for the optional side airbags may not have been tightened properly. This could result in an improper side airbag curtain deployment in certain side crash conditions, which can increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the side airbag curtains and tighten the fasteners to the proper torque specifications.
