Something wrong with your car? Here's how Canada's vehicle recall system works | CBC News
Briefly

Nissan issued a 'do not drive' warning for specific models due to defective Takata-brand airbag inflators, part of a broad recall campaign since 2017. Driving should be avoided until recall repair is completed.
Transport Canada reported over 680 recalls in 2024, highlighting the prevalence of safety issues affecting various vehicle types. The report found 6.6 million 'unsafe' cars on Canadian roads due to unresolved recalls, especially in older vehicles.
Manufacturers are obligated by Canadian federal law to notify car owners of recalls within 60 days after identifying safety defects. Prompt communication and action are crucial to address potential risks and ensure driver safety.
As car technology advances, the discussion includes whether recalls can be handled remotely. Proactive measures and awareness of the recall system are essential to ensuring vehicles are up-to-date on safety requirements.
