INCORRECT REAR BRAKE LININGS WERE INSTALLED ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 105, "HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEMS". THE EXISTING BRAKE LININGS COULD ALLOW BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK, CAUSING PARTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING. Remedy: DEALER WILL REPLACE THE REAR BRAKE LINING WITH THE PROPER LINING, WITHOUT CHARGE.
THE COLUMNS MAY CONTAIN STEERING SHAFTS IN WHICH THE STEERING COLUMN COUPLING ROLL PIN RETAINING NOTCH WAS MACHINED TOO DEEP. THIS MAY CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAFT TO BECOME DISENGAGED FROM THE REST OF THE STEERING ASSEMBLY. Remedy: DEALER WILL INSTALL A COTTER PIN THROUGH THE ROLL PIN TO ENSURE RETENTION, AT NO COST TO OWNER.
We checked Transport Canada's recall database for this make, model and year.
