Certain vehicles equipped with 1.6L engines may experience a fire originating in the engine compartment, while the engine is running, caused by the engine overheating that results in flammable fluid leaks coming into contact with the hot exhaust system. This could result in property damage and/or injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Powertrain Control Module and the Instrument Panel Cluster module to improve the systemu2019s ability to detect and mitigate an overheating condition. Dealers will also inspect for coolant leaks and make any necessary corrections.
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 2012399.
