Issue: On certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label does not list that there is no spare tire in both official languages. The label reads as "NONE" when it should read as "NONE / AUCUN". Canadian regulations require the information to be listed on the label in both English and French. Safety Risk: This error does not affect vehicle safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. The company has corrected the tire and loading information label for all new vehicles.
Issue: A problem with the driver’s seat belt could cause it not to lock-up as designed during braking or in a crash. Safety Risk: A seat belt that does not lock properly in a crash could cause an increased risk of injury. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the driver’s seat belt assembly.
On certain vehicles, the trim of the instrument panel which covers the passenger frontal airbag may not have been manufactured to specification. This could affect proper deployment of the passenger frontal airbag in a crash (where deployment is warranted), which could increase the risk of injury to the front passenger occupant. Correction: Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the instrument panel.
On certain vehicles, the screws securing the seat backrest and lower seat belt anchor to the passenger front seat may be incorrectly installed or missing due to a manufacturing process error. In the event of a crash, the seat and seatbelt may not work as intended, which could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the screws that secure the seat backrest and the lower seat belt anchor on the passenger front seat.
