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 26–38 of 38 recalls.
BRAKE PEDAL MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
Under certain braking events the Ready Alert Braking System (RAB) may result in the driver experiencing a hard brake pedal feel. If the driver experiences a hard brake pedal they may not push the pedal as intended which can result in a lengthening of the stopping distance of the vehicle so increasing the risk of a crash.
Recall all affected vehicles to update the RAB software in the ABS ECU.
INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATION MAY BE REQUIRED
The brake booster may prematurely corrode. If perforation of the brake booster shell (due to corrosion) occurs water could enter the brake booster during wet weather. In very cold weather the water may freeze. The driver may be required to apply additional application force to the brakes during sub-freezing driving conditions leading to an additional brake pedal application force requirement which could slow the driver's brake application reaction time and cause a crash.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the brake booster for corrosion and where necessary replace the brake booster. In all cases a shield to protect the brake booster crimp joints from water exposure will be fitted.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MAY FAIL
The vehicle may experience an instrument cluster blackout a loss of warning light illumination and/or a loss of ABS/electronic stability control system function. The loss of instrument cluster illumination and/or ABS function during certain driving conditions may cause a crash without warning.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to reprogram the instrument cluster and ABS module. Check and tighten the alternator ground wire
INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS
The Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) Module may experience a very high voltage spike which may result in the inadvertent deployment of the front airbags and/or the seatbelt pretensioner. This could result in the loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all the affected vehicles for the fitment of a filter harness for the ORC module.
VEHICLE MAY ROLL AWAY
The automatic transmission may shift into or through neutral unintentionally when parked which in some circumstances could allow the vehicle to move/runaway.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to attach a software update to remove possibility of inadvertent shifting.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE MAY ALLOW A MOMENTARY DELAY IN BRAKE APPLICATION.
It has been established that the software programmed into the electronic brake control module (EBC) may permit a momentary delay in brake application when coasting uphill during certain conditions.
Recalled vehicles will have the EBC reprogrammed.
FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS COULD BREAK UNDER CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS.
It has been identified that the front brake calipers may have been incorrectly manufactured and as such could fail under certain operating conditions.
Recalled vehicles will have the build codes on both front brake calipers checked. Those calipers found to be within the specified build code will be replaced.
FRONT SEAT HEATING ELEMENTS MAY OVERHEAT
It has been identified that the front seat heating elements may overheat. This in extreme circumstances may result in an interior fire.
Recalled vehicles will have both front seat heating elements replaced.
SIDE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
The side air bags may not deploy in a side impact as designed.
Recall affected vehicles and replace air bag.
UNDERBONNET FIRE CONCERN
Debris may accumulate on the exhaust manifold. This could lead to an under bonnet fire.
Install an intake/exhaust manifold debris shield.
FRONT BRAKE ROTORS (DISCS) MAY FAIL.
There is a possibility that corrosion may cause the front brake rotors (Discs) to separate from the centre hub section. Vehicle may pull to one side when braking. Also braking efficiency will be reduced.
Recall affected vehicles for inspection and if necessary replacement of both front brake rotors with new version. ( Note. Some vehicles will already have the new version fitted)
INACCURATE INDICATION OF FUEL TANK CONTENTS
The fuel tank level sending unit may cause the fuel gauge to display an inaccurate fuel level. As a result the vehicle may run out of fuel when the gauge still indicates that there is fuel remaining in the tank.
Recall all affected vehicles and fit a quality assured fuel tank sender unit.
POWER DISTRIBUTION FUSE LINK
The fasteners securing the alternator circuit fuse to the power distribution centre may not be correctly clamped. This could result in arcing at the connection with a possibility of an under bonnet fire.
Recall the affected vehicles for replacement of the power distribution centre fuse with a fuse link.
