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.

Transport Canada lists: 918 Spyder 2015

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, in the event that the seat belt mount and seat belt reel attachment bolts were removed during servicing, they may have been reinstalled in the incorrect location due to an error in servicing literature. This could weaken the seat belt attachment points and potentially allow separation in a crash, increasing the risk of injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the screws and replace if necessary.

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.
