Dodge CALIBER in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Dodge CALIBER is named on 2 American notices, 3 British and 1 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register
The British register
- DVSA recall R/2007/185: Chrysler Jeep Patriot, Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass and 2 more (Headlights may not self level correctly)
- DVSA recall R/2010/104: Dodge Caliber (Accelerator pedal may fail to return to idle)
- DVSA recall R/2011/081: Chrysler Grand Voyager, Dodge Caliber, Nitro and 5 more (Steering column performance during an impact may be compromised)
The Israeli register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain vehicles in certain types of crashes, airbag and seatbelt pretensioner deployment capability may be lost due to a short in the front impact sensor wiring affecting Occupant Restraint Controller function. Failure of airbags and seatbelt pretensioners to deploy in a crash (when warranted) could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the Occupant Restraint Controller module.
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 2016448.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Dodge Avenger, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Dodge: 580 in the register, and 644 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2016.
