Canadian ownership considerations
General things worth checking on a used Grand Caravan in the Canadian climate — winter, road salt, and cold-weather wear.
- Check AWD or 4WD operation if equipped — driveline components are costly to repair.
- Road salt drives corrosion on underbody and subframe points; inspect the undercarriage on salt-belt vehicles.
- Verify heater, defroster, and rear demister all work ahead of winter.
- Battery and cold-start reliability are worth confirming for Canadian winters.
Pre-purchase inspection priorities
- Bring a qualified mechanic or book an independent pre-purchase inspection.
- Check the undercarriage for rust and corrosion, especially on salt-belt vehicles.
- Confirm all open recalls have been repaired using the VIN.
- Review maintenance records and look for gaps in servicing.
- Test all winter-critical systems: heater, defroster, battery, and (if equipped) AWD/4WD.

Lights And Instruments
2022-06-28Issue: Due to a production issue, a small number of vehicles were built with daytime running lamps (DRLs) that don't turn off when the fog lights are switched on. As of September 1, 2020, new Canadian regulations require the DRLs to turn off when the front fog lamps are switched on. Safety Risk: This is a technical non-compliance that is unlikely to affect vehicle safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. FCA Canada has confirmed that all other vehicles produced after September 1, 2020, comply with Canadian regulations.
Label
2024-08-15Issue: On certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label does not list that there is no spare tire in both official languages. The label reads as "NONE" when it should read as "NONE / AUCUN". Canadian regulations require the information to be listed on the label in both English and French. Safety Risk: This error does not affect vehicle safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. The company has corrected the tire and loading information label for all new vehicles.
