Several automakers have recalled vehicles in Canada recently.
Here's a roundup of vehicle recalls provided to Transport Canada between April 21 and 28.
Volvo has recalled
the 2021 to 2025 Polestar 2. Nearly 8,000 cars are affected.
A software problem could cause the rear-view camera image not to display on some vehicles when the transmission is shifted into reverse.
'A rear-view camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash,' the recall, last updated April 28, said.
Polestar will notify owners by mail and advise them to take their vehicle to a dealership to update the vehicle's software.
Mercedes-Benz issued a pair of recalls recently.
One of those recalls
is on the following 2023 and 2024 model year cars and SUVs:
A total of 124 vehicles are affected.
The recall repairs completed by a Mercedes-Benz dealer during recall 8297011 (Transport Canada recall No. 2024-105) may not have been done correctly on some vehicles and a second repair is required.
On some vehicles, the 80 A fuse may not have been manufactured properly and the fuse could overheat and fail. If this happens, there could be a sudden loss of power to the wheels and it could cause the instrument cluster not to work.
'A fuse and wiring that overheats can create the risk of a fire. A sudden loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Warnings, telltales and gauges that don't display could also increase the risk of a crash,' the recall, last updated April 23, said.
The automaker will notify owners by mail and advise them to take their vehicle to a dealership to replace the main fuse box.
A separate Mercedes-Benz recall
is on the 2022 and 2023 C Class. Just three cars are affected.
The driver's seatbelt may not have been installed properly on these few vehicles and the seatbelt could become loose over time and detach.
'A seatbelt that detaches in a crash could increase the risk of injury,' the recall, last updated April 25, said.
The automaker will notify owners by mail and advise them to take their vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, reinstall the safety cap on the driver's seatbelt.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles issued a recall
on the 2023 to 2025 Dodge Hornet and 2023 to 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale. More than 7,000 SUVs are affected.
The rear-view camera may not have been manufactured properly on some vehicles and/or there could be a problem in the rear-view camera software. This could result in the rear-view camera not displaying.
'A rear-view camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash,' the recall, last updated April 25, said.
FCA Canada will notify owners in writing and advise them to take their vehicle to a dealership to update the rear-view camera software. For certain vehicles, the dealer will also replace the radio assembly.
Maserati has issued a recall
on the 2024 GranTurismo. Just one car is affected.
The compliance label and tire and loading information label located on the B-pillar may not be attached properly and could fall off, which would result in information about the vehicle, such as cargo carrying capacity and tire pressures, to be missing. This could lead you to overload the vehicle, which could cause poor handling or a tire failure.
'Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash,' the recall, last updated April 25, said.
Maserati will notify the owner by mail and advise them to take their vehicle to a dealer to install the labels.
