What the records are about, by source

  • Transport Canada recalls (58 records, model years 1995–2006) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), electrical system and engine.
  • Manufacturer communications (1,242 records, model years 1995–2006) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and engine.
  • Investigations (10 records, model years 2004–2006) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system).

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
