Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

What is wrong

Certain cars may be missing padding in the rear side trim panels. Without this padding, the cars do not meet Canadian regulations for side-impact protection.

Why it matters

Rear seat passengers may be at a higher risk of injury in a side-impact crash.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to install the missing left and right crash pads. People should not be transported in the rear seats until the recall repairs are completed.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
