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 26–45 of 45 recalls.
ENGINE SPEED MAY INCREASE UNINTENTIONALLY
It is possible that the internal contact resistance of the crimped joints for the grounding between the throttle position sensor (TPS) and engine control module may increase due to engine vibration. This can lead to an increased TPS voltage output which could lead to an increase in engine revolutions whilst at idle without any throttle input.
Recall all affected vehicles for the installation of a new wiring harness.
SEAT BELT MAY NOT RETRACT
Insufficient clearance between the connector of the drivers side seat belt pretensioner and the seat cushion may prevent the seat belt from retracting.
Carry out modification to seat cushion.
REVERSING LAMP MAY NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY
Reverse light may not function. Due to a fatigue fracture where the lead wire fixes to the reverse light switch as a result the reverse light will not light up.
Replacement of reverse light switch.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
Failure of the Instrument Cluster printed circuit due to overheating and stress with the introduction of the gear change position in the instrument cluster of the easy shift transmissions. The instrument cluster lights will not function or while driving may fail
Replacement of the instrument cluster
HORN MAY NOT OPERATE
The wiring harness for the horn can be inappropriately routed. If the steering is continually operated this can result in failure of the wiring due to fatigue.
Recall all the affected vehicles inspect the wiring harness and rework the harness if required.

Recall all the affected vehicles inspect the wiring harness and rework the harness if required.
PROPELLER SHAFT MAY DETACH
The propeller shaft may fail and loss of drive occur due to the propeller shaft sliding yoke spline not being correctly heat treated.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the rear propeller shaft with a quality assured unit.
STARTER RELAY MAY BURN OUT
It has been identified that in some instances the ECM main relay and the engine starter relay have been inserted the wrong way round. This can result in the starter relay overheating and burning out.
Recalled vehicles will have the relays checked for correct location and replaced if found not to be correct.
GEAR CHANGE MAY BE AFFECTED
The gearbox in auto shift mode may not smoothly shift down through the gears as road speed decreases.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to re-program the electronic control unit with the correct data.
GEAR CHANGE MAY BE AFFECTED
The gearbox in auto shift mode may not smoothly shift down through the gears as road speed decreases.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to re-program the electronic control unit with the correct data.
FUEL MAY LEAK FROM THE LINKAGE PIPE ON THE SUPPLY PUMP.
It has been identified that on subject vehicles a diesel fuel leak may occur from the link pipe at the upper or lower ports of the fuel supply pump.
Recalled vehicles will have the supply pump inspected for this condition. If no weeping or leakage is identified the connections will be tightened to an improved torque. If the condition is evident the supply pump will be replaced.
BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER MAY FAIL
The front brakes may fail as a result of a fault in the brake master cylinder.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit new brake master cylinders.
ABS MAY NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY
There is a possibility that foreign material may contaminate the speed sensor rotor of the ABS. This could cause the ABS not to work correctly at speeds below 10 km/h when the foot brake is applied.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit an additional cover to the ABS speed sensor rotor.

SUSPENSION BALL JOINT MAY FAIL PREMATURELY
It is possible that the suspension lower ball joint may fail prematurely due to the ingress of water and detritus.
Dependent on the design the lower ball joint will be replaced. If the ball joint is integral with the lower arm the assembly will be changed.

Dependent on the design the lower ball joint will be replaced. If the ball joint is integral with the lower arm the assembly will be changed.
DILUTION OF ENGINE OIL LEADING TO ENGINE DAMAGE
Due to excessive clearance within the fuel injectors fuel may leak into the cylinder bores and then into the sump causing engine oil dilution. If this situation is ignored engine damage can occur additionally the engine revs may show an unintentional increase.
Affected vehicles will have the fuel injectors replaced.
HEATER TERMINAL MAY BURN OUT
If the ceramic heater is used on full for an extended period of time the heater terminal may burn out. Although there have been no fires to date there is a very slight possibility that combustion could occur.
Recall the likely to affected vehicles and fit new terminals.
