On certain vehicles, the starting current limiter could be overloaded under certain conditions. In the event the starter is blocked, a very high electric current could flow through the starting current limiter during repeated engine starting attempts. The high electric draw could cause the starting current limiter to overheat causing the surrounding components to melt which would increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction : Dealers will install an additional fuse in the electrical line to the starter.
Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. Vehicles may have been assembled without the specified headlamp adjustment screw caps, which is contrary to the requirements of the standard. Improperly aimed headlamps may reduce night time forward visibility or increase glare for vehicles ahead, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install headlamp adjustment screw caps.
On certain vehicles, an error in the electric power steering control unit software could result in the deactivation of the electric power steering assist. This would unexpectedly increase the steering effort force necessary to steer the vehicle at lower vehicle speeds, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update the power steering software.
On certain vehicles, the fuel pump assembly may not have been properly secured. This could cause an electrical short which would disable the fuel pump, potentially causing the engine to stall and resulting in a loss of motive power. This could also result in a fuel leak which, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. These issues could result in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and re-secure the fuel pump assembly.
On certain vehicles, the steering column may have been assembled incorrectly. As a result, the sliding shaft could potentially become disengaged from the steering coupling socket. This could result in noise, steering backlash, and a potential loss of steering control, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect, and confirm that the steering coupling interlock mechanism is in the locked position.
