Via Transport Canada:
Transport Canada has announced a fresh round of vehicle recalls this week, affecting models from Nissan, Toyota, BMW and General Motors. Drivers are being advised to check their VINs to see if their vehicle is on the list.
Nissan
Some Nissan electric models have a problem where the high-voltage battery can overheat during quick charging. That could cause smoke or even a fire. Until repairs are done, owners are being told not to use fast-charge stations.

Toyota
Certain Toyota and Lexus vehicles with large 14-inch displays have a glitch that can cause the rear-view camera image to fail when backing up. Dealers will fix it with a software update or screen replacement, depending on the model.

BMW
BMW has issued another recall for vehicles already repaired once under an earlier campaign. The issue involves an engine starter that can overheat after repeated starting attempts, which could lead to a fire. Dealers will replace the starter completely this time.
General Motors
A batch of GM electric vehicles may have a software fault that disables the pedestrian warning sounds used at low speeds. Without that noise, people walking nearby might not hear the car coming. A software update is being developed to fix it.
What drivers should do
Owners can look up their VIN on the Transport Canada website or through their automaker’s recall page to see if they’re affected. Repairs are free once parts or updates are ready.
Even if your car seems fine, it’s worth checking.
