Transport Canada recall 2008290

15 August 2008

Transport Canada lists: CL 2001–2008 · Class 2003–2007 · S 2002–2007

What is wrong

Certain vehicles equipped with Active Body Control (ABC) the sensors on the front struts may not operate within tolerances. As such, the sensor signal may not be accurately transmitted to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). A variation in the transmitted values can result in one front strut adjusting to a value while the other does not adjust and presenting the driver with an uneven front suspension. This situation could have an effect on the vehicle's directional stability, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash with injuries or death.

What the dealer will do

6 May 2004

Transport Canada lists: CL 2000–2001 · S 2000–2001

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the size of the electric conductor on the blower motor fuse holder may be below appropriate tolerances. Consequently, the electric conductor of the blower motor fuse holder may dissipate more heat than the plastic fuse holder was designed to withstand, which would result in partial melting of the blower motor fuse holder and disabling of the blower motor.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the blower motor fuse holder.
