If something's wrong with your car, understanding Canada's vehicle recall system is crucial. When a manufacturer identifies a safety defect or non-compliance with safety standards, they initiate a recall. Transport Canada oversees this process, ensuring public safety. The manufacturer notifies owners through mail, providing details on the defect and instructions for repair, which is typically free of charge. Recalls can be checked online via Transport Canada's database or the manufacturer's website using your vehicle identification number (VIN). Staying informed and responsive to recall notices ensures your vehicle remains safe and compliant with national safety standards, protecting you and others on the road
