9 September 2014

Transport Canada lists: Cargo 2013–2015

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may experience front passenger side curtain and/or seat airbag inadvertent deployments, due to a resonance at the rear quarter panel sensor that can be aggravated by aftermarket installed roof racks & associated ladders/equipment. Unintended airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could startle the driver, which could result in a vehicle crash causing injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update the Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module software.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, if the vent window switch (located in the driver's door armrest) is exposed to liquids, it could overheat. An overheated vent switch could result in a burning odour, smoke, or fire, increasing the risk of injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the switch with an updated design.
