Steering

Transport Canada recall 2015466 · manufacturer campaign RVXX1508

14 October 2015

Transport Canada lists: VN 2009–2015

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a defect in the the ball joint seals on the drag link could allow corrosion to form in the joint, leading to accelerated wear. This could result in ball joint failure, potentially resulting in a loss of steering control which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the drag link on affected vehicles. Those found to be loose will be replaced immediately. Drag links found to be still serviceable will be replaced when sufficient replacement parts become available.

Seats And Restraints

Transport Canada recall 2012356 · manufacturer campaign RVXX1204

18 October 2012

Transport Canada lists: VHD 2002–2013 · VN 2002–2013

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 210 – Seatbelt Assembly Anchorages. The weld used to secure the nut to the center-passenger seatbelt D-ring mounting bracket may not be sufficient to meet the strength requirements of the Standard. Failure of the seatbelt D-ring anchorage to restrain the occupant would increase the risk of personal injury during a crash.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the D-ring for the middle seating position.
