On certain vehicles, an interior trim panel does not meet the requirements of CMVSS 221 for fastener spacing. In the event of a severe impact to the body structure, the upper end of the panel may deflect inward, presenting a hazard. Vehicle occupants may be injured should they come in contact with the exposed edge. Correction: Dealers will repair the joint by adding a bracket secured with screws and adhesive.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2005265.
