VehiclesCars, trucks, motorcycles and boats are recalled every year
Updated September 2026 · Sourced from Transport Canada
Every year hundreds of vehicles are recalled for issues ranging from faulty airbags, engine issues and more. So far this year, there have been 141 vehicle recalls covering approximately 1.2 million vehicles in Canada — a recall about every 1.8 days.
How can vehicle owners keep themselves informed? If you're buying a second-hand car, how will you know if there are active recalls for vehicles you're considering? Ignoring recalls on your vehicles might end up in costly repairs, or worse: a safety incident when you least expect.
The media and the government are inefficient in disseminating critical recall information to consumers. Often times it takes days or weeks before a major recall is announced by the media.
Consumers are asked to be proactive, but they are at the mercy of slow channels to receive important news. Some recalls aren't even mentioned anywhere except official channels.
141 recalls covered ~1.2 million vehicles so far in 2026.
Recall Monitor emails or texts you when a recall matches what you watch. CA$3.99/mo, cancel anytime.
If you own, or are considering buying a second hand car you might not be on the manufacturer's list of people to notify in the event of a recall. Your insurance might not cover repairs to your car if you bring it in too late.
Avoid all the headache and be in the know as soon as recalls are issued. Don't put your safety at risk.
Passenger cars represent a major portion of vehicle safety campaigns in Canada, affecting hundreds of thousands of units each year. Recalled models regularly face critical defects in airbags, braking systems, engine and electrical components, fuel delivery, steering, and suspension.
Recalls affect virtually every major manufacturer, including Toyota, Chevrolet, BMW, Mazda, Ford, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Dodge, Kia, Tesla, Cadillac, and Subaru.
Examples still open today include the Honda Element recalls, the Kia Rondo 2015 recall, and the Mercedes-Benz B-Class, GLA and CLA recall.
As sport utility vehicles dominate Canadian roads, SUV safety campaigns routinely impact hundreds of thousands of vehicles annually.
Recalled SUVs face defects ranging from sudden engine stalling to electrical short circuits, brake failures, and seat or seatbelt mount issues.
Makes frequently subject to SUV safety campaigns include Chevrolet, Jeep, Toyota, Ford, Mazda, Dodge, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Buick, and Volvo.
Light trucks and commercial vans regularly face safety recalls targeting structural integrity, backup camera systems, steering linkages, and engines.
Makes with widespread recalls include Ford, RAM, Chevrolet, GMC, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, Jeep, and Utilimaster.
Light truck and commercial examples include the Ford F-150 recall (22S71), the Mitsubishi Fuso FE truck recall, the CFMOTO CFORCE 400 recall, and the Polaris General 1000 recall.
Travel trailers and motorhomes see dozens of safety recalls each year, commonly involving propane leak risks, electrical wiring faults, suspension hardware, and emergency exits.
Manufacturers including Jayco, Airstream, Forest River, Newmar, Entegra, and Keystone frequently issue safety campaigns across their RV and trailer lineups.
Examples include the Highland Ridge RV recall and the Tiffin Allegro Red and Phaeton recall.
Motorcycles carry some of the highest personal risk when safety-critical components fail. Recalls routinely address compromised braking systems, sudden powertrain shutdowns, steering stabilizers, and lighting failures.
Brands affected include Harley-Davidson, Honda, BMW, Yamaha, Ducati, Indian, Kawasaki, and Suzuki.
