Manufacturers Ram, Tesla and Lamborghini recently launched recall campaigns to fix various defects.
At Ram, 17,420 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks from model years 2020 to 2023 must stop at the dealer to fix a problem with a transmission fluid leak that could cause a fire. Models powered by the Cummins 6.7L six-cylinder turbodiesel engine are affected by this recall. Dealers are instructed to replace the “dipstick and transmission breather tube,” according to the Transport Canada sheet.

Tesla Model X
On the Tesla side, two recall campaigns have been declared. The first concerns a software issue affecting the Model 3 (2023) and Model Y (2020 to 2023) that may cause one or more taillights to fail in 33,155 vehicles. This will be fixed by an update sent by the manufacturer. Owners will be notified by email. The second campaign aims to solve a problem with the calibration of the weight sensors on the front passenger airbag. These do not meet the performance level of some children, according to Transport Canada. Finally, 1567 Model X 2022 and 2023 are affected and will also be eligible for a remote update to fix the issue.

And finally, on a slightly more comedic note, if you’re one of four Canadian owners of a very rare 2022 Lamborghini Countach, you’ll also need to make an appointment with your dealer. Some examples of the Italian supercar may have loose rear window panels, causing them to detach. Everything will of course be repaired free of charge at the dealer.
