Transport Canada runs its own recall programme. Its campaigns do not always
mirror the American ones, so a Canadian owner reading a US-only list is
reading about a different car than the one on their driveway.

Electrical
On certain motorhomes, a wire harness mounted under the vehicle may contact the right exhaust manifold heat shield. Should the wire harness become damage, it could result in an electrical short, which could cause intermittent operation of the electrical systems (wipers, lights, etc.), vehicle shut-down, and/or lead to a fire. Loss of windshield wiping capability, should it occur during a rainy/snowy day, may compromise the driver's ability to see the road and its users, which could result in a crash. Failure of the lighting system may result in the following road users being unaware of the driver's intentions, as well as reducing vehicle conspicuity during hours of darkness, which could increase the risk of a crash. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. An electrical short could result in a vehicle fire. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the wiring harness. In addition, the harness will be re-routed to ensure sufficient clearance to the heat shield.

THIS WIDE VEHICLE WIDTH COULD LEAD TO COLLISIONS WHILE TRAVELLING OR SLIDE OUT ROOM IMPACT TO ADJACENT OBJECTS WHILE THE MOTOR HOME IS PARKED. CORRECTION: MOTOR HOME CONTROL RELAY WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED. RELAY WILL ALSO BE INSTALLED IN A WATERPROOF BOX TO PREVENT FUTURE WATER INTRUSION.
