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 426–450 of 681 recalls.
LOSS OF STEERING
The steering column to steering wheel shaft may not have been assembled correctly. If not corrected noise and play will become apparent and if these warnings are not acted on eventually steering control could be lost.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary refit the steering column correctly to the steering wheel shaft.
REAR SCREEN MAY DETACH
It has been identified that it is possible that the rear screen seal may not be to specification. This could lead to water ingress into the boot area which in extreme cases could cause the rear screen to become insecure in its housing.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the rear screen seal.

Recall all affected vehicles and replace the rear screen seal.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF BRAKING ASSISTANCE
On the affected vehicles an internal component of the braking assistance system vacuum pump may not conform. This could over time lead to a reduction in braking assistance.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the vacuum pump.
SPOT WELDS MAY NOT HOLD
On a very limited number of vehicles it is necessary to check the presence of specific spot welds on the vehicle body shell. Should it be identified that one of the welds has been missed in production the vehicle cannot be repaired. In the long term and in very rare cases body noises and squeaking could appear.
In the rare case that the vehicle does not comply the vehicle will be removed from the road and the customer will be provided with a replacement vehicle.
REAR BRAKE CALLIPER MOUNTING BOLTS MAY BE TORQUED INCORRECTLY
The rear brake caliper mounting bolts may not be to the required torque. Therefore the bolts may slacken and cause noise.
Recall the vehicles are likely to be affected to replace the rear caliper mounting bolts and ensure they are correctly torqued.
BRAKING ASSISTANCE MAY BE REDUCED
One of the vacuum hose unions in the braking system may not be to specification. This could cause a reduction in braking assistance.
Check and if necessary replace the hose.
ENGINE MAY FAIL
It has been established that the con-rod (big end) shell bearings may not have been manufactured to specification. This could lead to premature deterioration of the shells and if not identified it could result in engine failure.
Recall affected vehicles and replace con-rod shell bearings.

Recall affected vehicles and replace con-rod shell bearings.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE LOST
The torque settings of the fixings of the front suspension fuel tank fuel cooler and the rear wheels have been set incorrectly. Consequences of the incorrect torque settings include abnormal noise and poor operation of the vehicle.
Retighten to the correct torque value the front suspension fixings fuel tank fixings fuel cooler fixing and rear wheel bolts.

Retighten to the correct torque value the front suspension fixings fuel tank fixings fuel cooler fixing and rear wheel bolts.
BRAKE EFFICIENCY COULD BE REDUCED
The nearside front brake hose may not be properly secured and could chafe. If not noticed the chafing could cause loss of brake fluid and the warning lamp to illuminate. Additionally it is possible the braking efficiency could be adversely affected.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary correctly secure the nearside front brake hose or replace the hose.
WHEEL BOLTS MAY BECOME LOOSE
It is possible that the left hand wheel bolts may not have been torqued to the correct specification. This could lead to noise or vibration from the wheels and if not rectified it could result in wheel detachment and loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall affected vehicles to check and if necessary re-torque the wheel bolts.

Recall affected vehicles to check and if necessary re-torque the wheel bolts.
REAR CROSS MEMBER MAY CRACK
Over a period of time a small crack can appear on the rear axle cross member particularly under conditions of repeated maximum suspension travel. The small crack could increase in size and eventually lead to the rear wheel rubbing on the wheel arch.
Replace the rear axle cross member and suspension bump stops.
RISK OF FIRE
The starter motor wiring harness may be subject to long term wear due to rubbing. This can cause electrical problems or in the worst case a fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to add further protection to the starter motor wiring harness.
HANDBRAKE EFFICIENCY MAY NOT BE TO SPECIFICATION
The fixture of the handbrake cable stop support may not have been produced to the correct specification. If not rectified this could cause a reduction in hand brake efficiency.
Recall all affected vehicles and install strengthening for the handbrake cable stop support under the vehicle.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
The battery earth cable dimensions are incorrect and may cause the cable to break. This will then cause the engine to cut out.
Replace the battery negative cable with a new dimension cable. (length and terminal)

ABS/ESP MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
The ABS block may not conform to manufacturer specification. This could affect the operation of the ABS/ESP systems on the rare occasions that they are activated.
The hydraulic ABS/ESP block will be checked and if necessary replaced.
