Ottawa, ON. – Transport Canada has released its latest recalls, which may affect some Fisker, Ford and Lamborghini models.
Fisker
Units Affected – 86
Karma: 2012
On certain vehicles, the low temperature cooling fans may have been manufactured incorrectly and could develop a short circuit. An electrical short could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace both low temperature cooling fans with a single improved unit.
Ford
Units Affected – 346
Edge: 2012
On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0L engine, the fuel line pulse damper may have been installed incorrectly and could develop cracks. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel line assembly.
Ford
Units Affected – 1,661
Escape: 2013
On certain vehicles equipped with a 1.6L engine, the cylinder head cup plug (freeze plug) may become dislodged, resulting in a significant loss of coolant which could cause the engine to overheat. Under certain circumstances, water in the remaining coolant mixture may vaporize, resulting in a higher concentration of glycol (antifreeze). A high concentration of glycol could become flammable and, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the cylinder head. If the cup plug is dislodged or leaking, the cylinder head assembly will be replaced. If the cup plug is not dislodged or leaking, a wicking sealant will be applied to the plug and a cover plate will be installed over the plug with adhesive.
Lamborghini
Units Affected – 96
Gallardo: 2004, 2005, 2006
Gallardo Spyder: 2004, 2005, 2006
On certain vehicles, the power steering high pressure line may develop a leak. Loss of steering fluid could cause a loss of steering power assist, which may result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Also, power steering fluid leakage may contact a hot engine or exhaust component, which could result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the power steering high pressure line.
