DVLA recall archive
The archive holds 15,570 DVLA vehicle safety recalls dating back to 1992. Filter by manufacturer, year, or keyword. To check whether a specific vehicle is affected by an outstanding recall, run a live VRM recall check for £1.99.
Showing 51–71 of 71 recalls.
ENGINE MAY NOT START
The engine may not start because the power train to chassis primary earth stud may have intermittent high resistance. This condition may occur when electrical items that draw high current are utilised in which case the electrical path could route through the rear braided hoses causing them to heat up and possibly melt leading to a soft pedalillumination of the brake warning lamp and poor starting.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected so the primary earth stud can be moved to a new location and fit a secondary earth strap between the transmission and chassis.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PARKING BRAKE MAY NOT ENGAGE
Some vehicles may have been manufactured with an automatic transmission parking brake component which may not have been hardened to the correct specification. This could result in the transmission parking brake not engaging when park on the transmission is selected.
Recalled vehicles will have the parking brake pawl guide plate replaced with a quality assured item.
REAR BRAKE PRESSURE REDUCING VALVES CONNECTED INCORRECTLY
It has been identified that a number of vehicles have been assembled with two in-line rear brake pressure reducing valves installed to one of the rear brake lines instead of one valve in each rear brake line. This condition can cause the vehicle to pull slightly to one side under heavy braking efficiency however is maintained as the system is regulated by the ABS.
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and modify to one brake pressure reducing valve to each rear brake line.
POSSIBILITY THAT THROTTLE CONTROL MAY BE LOST
The electronic throttle pedal assembly cross shaft can become displaced from its housing following involuntary displacement of an ultrasonically domed head (LHS end). This is designed to keep the cross shaft in place along with a secondary retaining cross pin at the opposite side of the housing. With the cross shaft displaced throttle control is lost. If ignored a failed cross shaft would lead to loss of throttle control whilst driving.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the throttle assembly will be checked for compliance with specification. Should a non-compliance be identified the throttle pedal assembly will be replaced.
POWER ASSISTED STEERING HOSE MAY CONTACT THE LEFT HAND EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND BURN THROUGH
Power assisted steering high pressure flexible hose may contact the left hand exhaust manifold and burn through leading to a progressive loss of hydraulic fluid and power assistance.
Check the position of the high pressure hose in relation to the exhaust manifold. If the hose is touching the manifold or there is insufficient air gap fit a new high pressure hose and reposition and clip as specified.
LIGHTING EQUIPMENT SWITCHGEAR CONCERN.
The steering column lighting switchgear wires can potentially become trapped leading to partial loss of lighting functionality during operation.
Recall affected vehicles and fit a quality assured steering column switchgear assembly

INTERMITTENT LOSS OF ENGINE POWER ON START UP.
A fault in the ignition software may result in misfiring and power loss on one bank of cylinders. This situation could also cause overheating of the exhaust catalyst.
Affected Vehicles are being recalled for replacement of the power train control module.(PCM)

IMPEDED REAR ROAD WHEEL STABILITY COULD OCCUR
One of the three variants of de Dion rear axle tube assemblies may suffer from stress cracks between the rear hub to axle tube interface following extended use. This could result in impeded rear road wheel stability should failure occur.
Recall affected vehicles to check and/or replace rear axle.
STEERING RACK MOUNTING BRACKETS MAY CRACK
There is a possibility that stress cracking of the steering rack mounting brackets may occur which could impede steering action.
Recall affected vehicles and replace brackets with modified type.

Recall affected vehicles and replace brackets with modified type.
FRONT DAMPER LOWER MOUNTING BRACKET MAY DETACH
There is a possibility that the front damper lower mounting bracket may detach due to insufficient welding and displaced damper may restrict steering action.
Recall affected vehicles and check that damper mounting bracket is butt welded on all three sides. If not replace bracket.

SECURITY OF SEAT BELT SHOULDER ANCHORAGE
The seat belt B pillar anchorage may disengage from it's index plate during a frontal impact.
Potentially affected vehicles are being recalled to have the marking on the index plate inspected. Where the marking indicates that the plate is not the correct type it will be replaced with a quality assured example.

NON OPERATION OF BRAKE FLUID WARNING LAMP CHECK FACILITY
Should the low brake fluid warning lamp bulb fail the bulb check facility is not enabled to check this condition.
The affected vehicles are being recalled by the manufacturer for a minor wiring modification to the circuit concerned.
