WINDSOR – Automaker Stellantis is recalling more than 100,000 Jeep vehicles in Canada over fire concerns and is asking drivers to park their cars away from other vehicles and structures until the issue is fixed.

The airbags may deploy during collisions where they are not required, increasing the risk of injury.

Steve Liborio was caught off guard by a sudden increase in interest in electric vehicle rentals, several years after the car rental industry’s foray into EVs failed to get the traction it had hoped for.

Transport Canada issued the recalls for problems including roof panels that could detach while driving, block heaters that may cause a fire and camera issues that could cause sudden, unexpected braking.
