Some 6.6 million “unsafe vehicles” are likely on the road despite having unresolved safety recalls, the federal government says.

In an analysis from June, Transport Canada estimated that one in five of the 33.3 million vehicles registered as of 2019 have outstanding recalls but continue to ply the country’s streets and highways, potentially endangering occupants and other road users.
