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 651–675 of 681 recalls.
REAR SUSPENSION CROSS MEMBER MAY HAVE BEEN CUT
The rear suspension cross member may have been cut in production. This could eventually result in failure of the cross member and cause loss of control of the vehicle.
Replace any rear suspension cross member found to be cut.
FRONT SUSPENSION BALL JOINT CONCERN
The front suspension lower ball joint pinch bolts may not have been fully tightened. In the worst case separation of the ball joint from the suspension arm would affect directional control of the vehicle.
Check the ball joint pinch bolts for correct torque and tighten where necessary.
ABS CONTROL UNIT MAY OVERHEAT
The anti lock brake control unit may overheat and cause the footbrake to revert to none anti lock mode.
Check the ABS control unit identification number and replace the control unit where found necessary.
REPLACEMENT OF HANDBRAKE LEVER
There is a possibility that the handbrake will not hold the vehicle stationary if it is not fully applied.
Fit a modified handbrake lever designed to ensure that an effective brake application is always made
PARKING BRAKE CABLE MAY BREAK
There is a possibility that the parking brake cable may not be to the correct specification and could break at the rear section resulting in loss of parking brake.
Recall affected vehicles and replace parking brake cable.
SERVICE BRAKE LINKAGE MAY BECOME DISCONNECTED.
A locking clip may not have been fitted correctly to one or more of the five clevis pins connecting the footbrake relay linkage inside the cabin. Disconnection of the linkage will result in the loss of service braking.
Recall affected vehicles to check that all five locking clips are secure.
BRAKE VACUUM ELECTROVALVES CONCERN.
Water ingress into the underbonnet vacuum electrovalves may cause a reduction in power assistance at the brake pedal. Malfunction of the electrovalves could also adversely affect the engine exhaust emissions.
Replace the three electrovalves as a precaution and install a protective shield over them.
BRAKE VACUUM ELECTROVALVES CONCERN.
Water ingress into the underbonnet vacuum electrovalves may cause a reduction in power assistance at the brake pedal. Malfunction of the electrovalves could also adversely affect the engine exhaust emissions.
Replace the three electrovalves as a precaution and install a protective shield over them.
ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM CONCERN
A defect in the ABS (Antilock Brake) ring on the front wheel bearings may cause a malfunction of the Antilock Brake System.
Recall affected vehicles and fit new front wheel bearings.
FAILURE OF CAMSHAFT DRIVE BELT
The camshaft drive belt may fail before the recommended replacement interval of 72000 miles. This could result in a complete loss of engine power without warning.
Recall affected vehicles and fit a quality assured replacement camshaft drive belt.
PARKING BRAKE EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
A potential defect in the rear brake caliper may cause the parking brake efficiency to be reduced.
Recall affected vehicles to check the operation of each brake caliper and replacement of the caliper if necessary.
FUEL TANK MOUNTINGS
Fuel tank rear mountings may not adequately secure the tank with a risk of possible disengagement.
Recall affected vehicles and fit additional bolts or reinforcement plates to rear tank mountings depending on original build configuration.
POTENTIAL LOSS OF BRAKE VACUUM ASSISTANCE
Possibility of failure of the vacuum pump drive dog leading to a loss of brake assistance.
Recall the potentially affected range of vehicles and replace the drive dog on those equipped with a Magneti Marelli vacuum pump.
POTENTIAL LOSS OF BRAKE VACUUM ASSISTANCE
Possibility of failure of the vacuum pump drive dog leading to a loss of brake assistance.
Recall the potentially affected range of vehicles and replace the drive dog on those equipped with a Magneti Marelli Vacuum pump
SUSPENSION BALL JOINT MAY DISENGAGE
There is a possibility that due to incorrect machining of the suspension ball joint clamp bolt hole on the pivot the ball joint may disengage.
Recall affected vehicles and check and replace pivot if necessary.
THE PASSENGER AIR BAG MIGHT REMAIN ACTIVE WHEN THE DEACTIVATE MODE HAS BEEN SELECTED
Due to a possible fault within the control switch the passenger air bag may not be deactivated when the switch is in the off position.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled and the function of the deactivation control switch checked. Should a defective switch be found it will be replaced with a quality assured unit.
POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE
There is a possibility that the brake servo valve may not function correctly resulting in loss of servo assistance to the braking system.
Recall affected vehicles for the inspection and possible replacement of the brake servo valve.
POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE
There is a possibility that the brake servo valve may not function correctly resulting in loss of servo assistance to the braking system.
Recall affected vehicles for the inspection and possible replacement of the brake servo valve.
POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE
There is a possibility that the brake servo valve may not function correctly resulting in loss of servo assistance to the braking system.
Recall affected vehicles for the inspection and possible replacement of the brake servo valve.
POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE
There is a possibility that the brake servo valve may not function correctly resulting in loss of servo assistance to the braking system.
Recall affected vehicles for the inspection and possible replacement of the brake servo valve.
INTERFERENCE BETWEEN HANDBRAKE CABLES AND REAR BRAKE PIPES
Potential interference between handbrake cables and rear brake pipes could lead to wear of brake pipes and in extreme circumstances loss of brake fluid which could reduce the effectiveness of the footbrake.
Recall potentially affected vehicles for a check that adequate clearance exists and realignment of the pipes if needed.
POSSIBLE PREMATURE WEAR OF HANDBRAKE RATCHET PAWL
Premature wear of the handbrake ratchet pawl may lead to inadvertent release of the handbrake. Problem of material hardness discovered in Quality Control tests.
All vehicles from the period of production that may have a defective lever to be recalled and a new lever fitted.
POSSIBLE DISENGAGEMENT OF DRIVING SEAT CATCH
There is a risk of disengagement of the drivers seat catch allowing the seat to move on its runners.
The recall operation will check the security of the seat runner which will be replaced if necessary. In some cases replacement of the seat frame will be required.
1)SEAT BELT BUCKLE MAY JAM FOLLOWING NORMAL OPERATION OF PRETENSIONER 2)INVOLUNTARY OPERATION OF DRIVERS AIR BAG
1) The seat belt may jam following normal operation of the seat belt pretensioners in an accident. 2) The drivers airbag may deploy involuntarily.
Recall the affected vehicles and:- 1) Replace the original seat belt buckle and its associated pretensioner control by new Autoliv components. 2) Upgrade the drivers airbag to the latest specification.
POSSIBILITY OF SERVICE BRAKE FAILURE
Under conditions of heavy braking the footbrake relay cross shaft ball joint may detach from its left hand mounting. This would result in failure of the service brake.
Recall the affected vehicles and check that the ball joint is properly located in its bush. Where this is not the case the mounting assemblies will be adjusted or replaced as necessary.
