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 101–125 of 142 recalls.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
The engine may cut out because the pipe connecting the tanks has been incorrectly manufactured which can stop the fuel transfer from the secondary tank to the primary tank. The fuel gauge will read that there is fuel in the tank when this occurs.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the fuel transfer pipe.
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.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to attach a software update to remove possibility of inadvertent shifting.
TOW BAR MAY DETACH
Vehicles fitted with a MOPAR brand tow bar there is a possibility the tow bar may allow the towed vehicle to become detached from the tow vehicle. This may result in a loss of control and a crash without warning.
Repair is to replace the cross tube and all associated mountings. Most vehicles will not have this type of tow bar fitted.
BRAKES MAY FAIL
Front inner fender liners may detach or sag allowing fender liner to contact brake pipes. Continuous fender liner contact with the brake pipes could result in a hydraulic leak and reduce brake performance. This loss in brake performance could cause a crash without warning.
Modify and refit fender liners securing clips. If required renew brake pipes.
WINDSCREEN WIPERS MAY FAIL
The windscreen wiper motor may fail without warning. This could result in a reduction of the driver's visibility under certain operating conditions and ultimately cause a collision.
Recall all affected vehicles for the replacement of the wiper motor.
FRONT SUSPENSION ARM MAY SEPERATE
The upper control arm ball joints fitted to the nearside and/or offside front suspension may experience a loss of lubricant which can lead to corrosion accelerated wear and separation whilst driving. If the ball joint separates directional control will be lost.
The recalled vehicles will have new front suspension upper control arms fitted the front suspension.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
Under certain driving conditions the transmission fluid may overheat. Continuous operations under these conditions may cause the fluid to boil over and come into contact with hot exhaust and engine components which might lead to an under bonnet fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to reprogramme the cabin compartment computer to add a transmission temperature warning feature. An addendum will also be added to the Owner's Manual.
MANUFACTURERS WEIGHT LABEL IS INCORRECT
It has been identified that during manufacturer an incorrect label indicating the maximum gross (GCW) carrying weight was installed. The current label indicates a maximum GCW of 6085 kg however the vehicle was certified to 6005 kg only.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject label replaced with one indicting the correct GCW.
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.
VEHICLE WEIGHT INFORMATION IS INCORRECT
It has been identified that the vehicle manufacturer's weight label located on the driver's side B pillar contains incorrect information.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with the correct weight label.
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.
VEHICLE WEIGHT INFORMATION IS INCORRECT
It has been identified that the vehicle manufacturer's weight label located on the driver's side B pillar contains incorrect information.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with the correct weight label.
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.
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.

Recalled vehicles will have the EBC reprogrammed.
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.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT AND OR FAIL TO RESTART
It has been identified that the wireless control module may fail with the result that the engine may fail to start or cut out.
Recalled vehicles will have the wireless control module replaced.
POSSIBLE SEPARATION OF FRONT SUSPENSION BALL JOINT
Water may enter the front suspension ball joints this can cause the ball joint to corrode and separate.
Replace any corroded ball joints and fit dirt/water shields to all vehicles.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE
Vehicles may experience a loss of power assistance to the brakes due to a collapsed brake booster vacuum hose. This will result in increased effort being required from the driver to apply the foot brake.
Inspect the brake booster vacuum hose. If damaged the hose will be replaced. In either case the hose will be re routed to eliminate interference with the coolant recovery pipe.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE
Vehicles may experience a vacuum leak in the EGR to Electronic Vacuum Regulator (EVM) tube. This may cause a loss of brake booster vacuum and require increased effort from the driver to operate the foot brake.
Inspect the vacuum tube from the EVM to the dash panel. Replace if damaged and re route the tube to eliminate interference with the exhaust shield.
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.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF SERVO ASSISTANCE
The steel vacuum tube that supplies vacuum to the brake booster may crack resulting in loss of servo assistance. This will result in increased pedal power to stop the vehicle.
Recall vehicles and replace the steel vacuum tube with a flexible vacuum hose.
