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.
2007 National RV Dolphin
Recall 2007347
26 Oct 2007
57 units in Canada
Lights And Instruments
Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 108 - Lighting Systems. Certain required exterior lights were not installed during vehicle assembly. The front side marker lights were omitted from the Surf Side models and the rear side marker lamps from the Dolphin & Dolphin LX models. This may render the vehicle less visible to other motorists and pedestrians during hours of darkness, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash with injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install the missing side marker lamps.

2005 National RV Dolphin
Recall 2006334
1 Dec 2006
56 units in Canada
Lights And Instruments
Certain motorhomes fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 101 and 105. Incorrect software programmed into the instrument panel cluster may not allow activation of certain driver warning indicators. As a result, the instrument cluster may fail to illuminate the warning lamps indicating brake system failure. Correction: Workhorse Custom Chassis dealers will reprogram the instrument panel cluster.
2005 National RV Dolphin
Recall 2006332
1 Dec 2006
71 units in Canada
Fuel System
On certain motorhomes equipped with Workhorse Custom Chassis, the engine fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip may fracture, resulting in inadequate retention of the damper. If the damper comes loose, a fuel leak may result in the underhood area which may result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the engine fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip.
2006 National RV Dolphin
Recall 2006333
1 Dec 2006
18 units in Canada
Steering
On certain vehicles equipped with Workhorse Custom Chassis, an incorrect steering intermediate shaft may have been installed. The incorrect part has a finer pitch spline. Use of the incorrect part may cause the spline not to match correctly with the steering gear input shaft. This could cause the spline to strip if the steering wheel is turned with a significant amount of force. This failure is likely only to occur when the vehicle is stopped or during tight turning manoeuvres at very low speeds. This condition may result in a loss of steering control. Correction: Dealers will replace the shaft.
