How many recalls Transport Canada lists for each model, over every model year from 2000, and the date of the newest. A long list is not by itself a verdict on a model: the best sellers are on the road in the largest numbers and have had the most model years, and one recall can cover a single part on a few hundred vehicles. Read on .

Transport Canada recalls per model, model years 2000 on. Hybrid and plug-in versions count with their model; heavy-duty trucks and separate EVs do not.

Check your own VIN for open recalls

A recall list is by model and year; whether your vehicle is covered, and whether the work has been done, is on the manufacturer’s records, by VIN. These are the Canadian lookups and recall lines for the makes most common here, checked . For any make, Transport Canada’s recall database search lists each recall with the manufacturer’s contact.

Not sure of the model?

The VIN decoder reads the year, make, model, trim, engine and assembly plant from your VIN, then shows the same Transport Canada recall list.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check if my vehicle has an open recall in Canada?

Enter your VIN in your manufacturer’s recall lookup, or call its recall line; this page links both for the major makes. Transport Canada’s database lists recalls by model and model year, not by VIN, and so does this tool.

What does “units affected” mean?

It is the number of vehicles in Canada the recall covers, as Transport Canada’s database records it, counted across every model and model year the recall names, not only the one you searched for.

Why do the Canadian and U.S. recall lists differ?

A manufacturer reports a recall to each government separately, so the numbers, dates and vehicle counts differ, and a recall in one country may not reach vehicles sold in the other. The U.S. list from NHTSA is shown for comparison; for a vehicle sold in Canada, Transport Canada’s list is the one to go by.

How current is the recall list?

Each search reads Transport Canada’s database at the time and keeps the answer for up to six hours. The table of popular models on this page is a snapshot, and says the date it was read.
