Ottawa, Ontario - Transport Canada has issued its latest recalls, which may affect some Ford, Jeep, Nissan, Dodge and Volkswagen vehicles.
2005-2007 Ford Freestar
Vehicles affected: 252
On certain vehicles, the daytime running light (DRL) system is inoperable. Normal headlamp function is not affected. Dealers will reprogram the electronic module to activate the DRL function.

On certain vehicles, inadequate coating of the fuel filler tube assembly could allow water to penetrate past the coating, and cause surface rust. In areas which use heavy concentrations of road salt, corrosion may occur to a degree which results in perforation of the tube. Dealers will replace the fuel filler tube assembly.
2007 Dodge Ram
Vehicles affected: 150
On certain 2WD trucks equipped with a manual transmission, the driveshaft yoke may break. Dealers will inspect the driveshaft.
