That fine amount is a joke, but getting them to admit wrong is huge.

A high regard for their customers too!

Unlike my Honda Ridgeline recall where they hound me  over and over to bring it in and when I do book? Appointment cancelled as parts are on backorder.

I’m shocked. Shocked I say.

I think it is a ploy to get KTMs ass into a new Ridgeline. I told them as soon as there is $7500 of cash on the hood they can contact me.

“Canadians have a right to obtain timely information about safety issues impacting their vehicles. It is alarming that Hyundai failed to notify vehicle owners of a recall in a timely manner on six different occasions, which is why Transport Canada pursued criminal charges against the company. We expect all vehicle manufacturers to abide by the law, and Transport Canada will not hesitate to act when safety has been compromised.” 

The Honourable Omar Alghabra
Minister of Transport

Quick facts
The charges relate to six different notices of defect (recalls) dating back to 2020 and 2021, affecting nearly 300,000 vehicles. Some of these recalls addressed safety risks relating to possible vehicle fires, reduced braking performance, and sudden loss of engine power.

The prescribed timeline for issuing a recall is within 60 days.

Transport Canada uses a graduated enforcement approach which looks at the severity of the violations to determine the appropriate response.

In 2022, there were 749 recalls issued in Canada affecting just over 3.8 million vehicles, tires, and child restraint system

No surprise it's been on the cards for awhile.

Oh it will happen. Last one had $5k on the hood. What with inflation $7500 is more than reasonable.

You are likely right, was just poking fun.

Well I will be right or driving my ancient Ridgeline.
