Canadian Recalls for the Week of December 14th to December 20th, 2023
Tesla Recall 193,000 Vehicles in Canada
Tesla is issuing a recall affecting approximately 193,000 vehicles in Canada due to concerns related to its autopilot function. Transport Canada has announced that Tesla will address the issue through an over-the-air software update aimed at resolving concerns with the advanced driver assistance features. This recall will be officially documented in Transport Canada’s database of vehicles subject to safety recalls.
In a broader context, Tesla has initiated a recall impacting over two million vehicles across its model lineup, encompassing those manufactured between October 5, 2012, and December 7 of the current year. This action follows an extensive investigation by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Segway Powersports Recalls 2022 Fugleman UT10E and UT10X Utility-Terrain Vehicles Due to Fire Hazard
In certain vehicles, there is a potential issue where the wiring to the engine ignition coil may break or lose connection, leading to an engine misfire. Should this occur and the vehicle continues to be operated, there is a risk of the exhaust system overheating.
The engine misfire poses a potential hazard as it can result in the overheating of the exhaust system, potentially leading to a fire.
As a precaution, Segway strongly recommends refraining from using your vehicle until the necessary recall repairs have been completed. Owners will be notified of the recall via email and mail, with instructions to bring the vehicle to an authorized dealership for an inspection of the ignition coil wire harness. Additionally, the technician will install a double-layered exhaust pipe, a fire fault alarm, and engine control unit protection for added safety.

- Check to see if you have recalled products

Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections. Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis.
Bugaboo Recalls Dragonfly Seat Strollers Due to Injury Hazard
In the “parent-facing” mode, the seat’s backrest can lower, causing the infant to be positioned in a negative recline. This configuration poses a risk, as an unrestrained infant may potentially fall from the seat, presenting an injury hazard.
Approximately 1,000 units are affected by this concern, with an additional 200 units sold in Canada. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled seats and contact Bugaboo for a free replacement stroller seat. Bugaboo is contacting all known retailers and purchasers directly.
The serial number for the seat can be found on a label affixed to the underside of the seat and on a label affixed to the underside of the chassis of the stroller. Consumers can check to see if their unit is included in the recall checking the serial number at https://service.bugaboo.com/s/dragonfly-seat-replacement.
