Ford, Honda, GM issue recalls impacting more than 80,000 vehicles in Canada

Ford, Honda and General Motors issued recalls earlier this month that were updated on Monday, impacting more than 80,000 vehicles in Canada.

Here’s everything you need to know:

Ford

Ford is recalling nearly 50,000 vehicles in Canada due to a faulty integrated park module that could increase the risk of an injury or a crash.

The impacted vehicles are the Ford F-150 models between 2022 and 2026, the Ford Maverick’s 2025 and 2026 models and the Ford Mustang Mach-E for its models from between 2024 and 2026.

“On certain vehicles, a problem in the integrated park module could cause the park pawl not to engage when the transmission is shifted to the park (P) position,” the notice said.

“If this happens, the vehicle could move when it’s parked, and the parking brake isn’t used.”

According to the notice, this problem would cause a wrench light and a shift system fault message to be displayed in the instrument cluster.

For the Maverick model, this recall only affects vehicles equipped with a 2.5 L hybrid engine, and for the F-150 model, this recall only affects Lightning (electric) models, the notice says.

Owners who have an impacted vehicle will be notified by Ford via mail to take the vehicle to a dealership to update the secondary on board diagnostic module (SOBDMC) software.

Honda/Acura

Honda is recalling nearly 11,000 vehicles due to brake issue, which could increase the risk of a crash.

The Acura ILX between model years 2016 and 2020 are affected.

“On certain vehicles, a seal in the brake master cylinder could become damaged. As a result, brake fluid could leak into the reservoir and there could be reduced braking,” the notice stated.

According to the notice, Acura will notify and advise owners who have an impacted vehicle to take the vehicle to a dealership to replace the brake master cylinder.

General Motors

General Motors is recalling nearly 21,000 vehicles in Canada for a software problem that could cause the pedestrian warning system to not work, claiming it could increase the risk of injury for other road users.

The impacted vehicles are the Chevrolet Equinox EV, model years 2025 and 2026.

“On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the pedestrian warning system not to work properly,” the notice says. “Canadian regulations require electric vehicles to make sounds at certain levels when operating at low speeds.”

General Motors will notify owners by mail and provide a wireless, over-the-air software update to eligible vehicles to update the body control module software, the notice says.

Impacted owners can also opt to schedule an appointment to have the update performed at a General Motors dealership.
