Mercedes-Benz B-Class 2011
37 units
On certain vehicles equipped with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), the internal transmission drive belt could fail. This would result in a loss of vehicle propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road condition, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.
Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the CVT gearbox assembly.
Jeep Compass 2012
Jeep Patriot 2012
248 units
On certain vehicles, the fuel tank roll-over valve may have been damaged during vehicle assembly. This could allow fuel leakage in a roll-over crash. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury.
Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel tank assembly.
Chrysler Town & Country 2012
Dodge Grand Caravan 2012
26 units
Certain vehicles may have been equipped with an incorrectly manufactured right rear hub and bearing assembly. Hub failure could result in wheel separation. A wheel separating from the vehicle could cause a loss of control and a crash. In addition, the errant wheel assembly could strike a vehicle, stationary object, or bystander. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury.
Correction: Dealers will replace the right rear hub and bearing assembly.
Ford Focus 2012
19,062 units
On certain vehicles, a seal plug may have been dislodged from the wiring harness connector to the passenger side wiper motor during vehicle assembly. This could allow water or other contaminants to enter and accumulate in the connector, resulting in an intermittent or inoperative passenger side wiper motor.
An inoperative passenger side wiper may result in reduced driver visibility in certain driving manoeuvres, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Note: The driver side wiper uses a separate motor that does not use a seal plug within the connector and is not susceptible to this condition.
Correction: Dealers will inspect, clean and properly seal the passenger side wiper motor connector. Inoperative wiper motors will be replaced.
Nissan Armada 2012
Nissan Titan 2012
2,301 units
Certain vehicles fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 110 - Tire Selection and Rims. Specifically, the compliance label does not indicate the wheel rim size, as required by the Standard.
Correction: To be announced.
Volkswagen Passat 2012
14 units
On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0L TDI engine, the diesel fuel filter element may not seal properly and could leak. Diesel fuel leakage may ignite on a hot surface and cause a fire which could result in property damage and/or personal injury.
Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel filter element.
BMW X6 2012
107 units
On certain BMW X6 M vehicles, the Tire and Loading Information label incorrectly indicates a vehicle seating capacity of four occupants. The actual seating capacity is five.
Correction: To be announced.
Buick Enclave 2011-2012
Chevrolet Traverse 2011-2012
GMC Acadia 2011-2012
5,810 units
On certain vehicles, if a buildup of snow or ice on the windshield or on the wipers restricts the movement of the wiper arm, the wiper arm nut may loosen and cause that wiper to become inoperative. Loss of windshield wiping capability, should it occur during a rainy/snowy day, may compromise the driver's ability to see the road and its users, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.
Correction: Dealers will tighten the wiper arm nuts.
BMW X3 2004-2013
BMW X5 2000-2013
BMW X6 2008-2012
67,771 units
