On certain vehicles, the rear outboard strikers of the second row outboard (outer) seats have a collar to define two set positions. If an outboard seat is positioned over the collar while attaching the seat to the vehicle floor, the seat will not latch properly to the striker. An unlatched second row outboard seat could tip forward during moderate to heavy braking, which could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will install a second row seat striker bracket and a warning label on both second row outer seats. Additionally, dealers will also place supplemental owner information cards in the glove box.

On certain vehicles, the lever on the second row outboard seats, which allows access to the third row seat, may stay in the unlocked position after returning the seat to its normal seating position. An unlocked second row outboard seat could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant in the event of a crash. Correction : Dealers will install an additional bracket and spring to the second row outboard seat adjuster to ensure proper engagement of the walk-in lever.

Certain vehicles may not comply with Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations. The compliance label may bear incorrect rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) information (lower than the vehicle's actual rear GAWR).  Correction: A production change has been undertaken to remedy this technical non-compliance condition. No corrective recall action is required as the technical non-compliance conditions are deemed to be non-safety related.

On certain vehicles, the brake-shift interlock may not function properly at low temperatures.  This could allow the transmission gear shift lever to be moved out of the PARK position without depressing the brake pedal.  Depending which gear the driver selects, the vehicle could begin to move forward or backward immediately.  This movement could result in property damage, or cause the vehicle to strike a bystander, potentially resulting in personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will replace the gear shift assembly stopper.

On certain vehicles, the airbag cover may not have been adequately secured to the driver’s airbag module.  As a result, the airbag may deploy with an irregular shape, or the cover may detach during deployment.  Failure of the airbag to deploy in the designed manner during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the driver’s airbag module.
