Steering Issue Prompts Recall Affecting Nearly 3,000 Canadian Vehicles

Transport Canada has issued a recall notice for close to 3,000 vehicles across the country due to a manufacturing defect that could cause a sudden loss of steering control. The problem, identified in certain models from a major automaker, involves a component that may fail without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.

Owners are urged to check their vehicle identification numbers to see if their car is affected.

The recall specifically targets vehicles where a steering column part was improperly assembled. Over time, this flaw can lead to the steering wheel becoming disconnected from the wheels, leaving the driver unable to steer. While no injuries have been reported in Canada so far, the defect has been linked to incidents in other markets.

The automaker is working with dealers to inspect and, if necessary, replace the faulty parts free of charge.

For drivers in the Brampton area, including those who service their cars at Boca Auto Care, this recall is a serious reminder to stay on top of safety notices. If you suspect your vehicle is part of this recall, bring it in immediately for a professional inspection. Our certified technicians can verify whether your car requires the repair and handle the process efficiently.

Don't wait until a problem arises on the road—your safety and that of your passengers depends on a fully functional steering system.
