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 151–175 of 229 recalls.
HANDBRAKE MAY FAIL
Risk that the primary handbrake cable end - piece crimping may not conform so the handbrake cable may become detached.
Check crimping at cable end. Replace cable if not within tolerance.
BRAKES MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
It is possible that the vehicles brake fluid maybe contaminated with mineral oil. This can cause the seals within the system to swell and affect their sealing properties. This may require drivers to apply additional force to the foot brake and could increase stopping distances.
Recall affected vehicles to have the system flushed and replenished with clean fluid.

Recall affected vehicles to have the system flushed and replenished with clean fluid.
ENGINE MAY STALL & FAIL TO RESTART
It has been identified that it is possible that the contacts in engine control module (ECM) and ignition relay situationed in the Intelligent Power Distribution Module (IPDM) may become contaminated with silicon oxide due to the evaporating of the silicon from within the units. In extreme cases this could result in the stalling of the engine and the failure to restart the engine.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the defective units.

Recall all affected vehicles and replace the defective units.
IF DEPLOYED THE AIRBAG MAY ENDANGER PASSENGER
The combustion rate of the airbag propellant may be too fast causing excessive internal pressure in the inflator during airbag deployment. In an extreme case the inflator casing may rupture leading to a scattering of metal fragments.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the front passenger airbag assembly.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the front passenger airbag assembly.
SUSPENSION TURRET MAY FAIL
It has been identified that the welds on the left-hand front suspension turret may fail. Should this occur the vehicle could tilt to the left-hand side and directional control could ultimately be affected.
Recall those affected vehicles for remedial work to be carried out on the suspension turret.
BRAKES MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
The clevis pin may displace from the brake pedal/brake booster input rod assembly as the clevis pin securing clip may not have been fitted at the factory.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary fit a clevis pin securing clip.
BRAKES MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
The clevis pin may displace from the brake pedal/brake booster input rod assembly as the clevis pin securing clip may not have been fitted at the factory.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary fit a clevis pin securing clip.

The clevis pin may displace from the brake pedal/brake booster input rod assembly as the clevis pin securing clip may not have been fitted at the factory.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary fit a clevis pin securing clip.
BRAKE LIGHTS MAY FAIL
In some cases a higher electric current may cause the shift solenoid circuit contact in the stop lamp switch to burn/melt. Additionally the auto transmission selector may not move from the Park position
Recall affected vehicles and replace stop lamp switch.
SEAT MAY DETACH
It has been identified that there is the possibility in the event of an impact the potential insecurity of the front right hand seat base mounting may result in the seat detaching from the floor thus affecting occupant safety.
Recalled vehicles will have the right hand front seat base brackets welded to the correct specification.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It has been identified that due to an engineering fault in production a dimensional variation has occurred to the fuel pump seating. This may result in a possible fuel leak from the pump seating area whilst the vehicle is being fuelled.
Recalled vehicles will have the fuel pump gasket and O replaced.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING FUNCTION
There is a possibility that the lower steering column connecting rod may become disconnected resulting in loss of steering control.
Recall affected vehicles to check and if necessary retorque steering rod bolts.
LOSS OF STEERING
The cover screw securing the pinion shaft may loosen causing noise during steering operation. Continued use in this condition could result in the screw coming out of the gear housing and in certain circumstances cause a loss of steering control.
Recall the potentially affected vehicles to fit a locking plate to the cover screw that secures the pinion shaft.

Recall the potentially affected vehicles to fit a locking plate to the cover screw that secures the pinion shaft.
REAR SEAT BELT BUCKLE MAY DETACH FROM SEAT FRAME.
The rear seat belt buckle retaining bolt may become loose resulting in buckle becoming detached
Recall affected vehicles check and refit retorque and lock bolt.
ENGINE MAY STALL
It has been identified that the air intake duct on VQ23/35DE engines may become detached from the intermediate resonator of the engine's air intake system. This can result in unstable idling poor acceleration or engine stall whilst driving
Recalled vehicles will have the subject air intake duct replaced.
ENGINE MAY STALL
It has been identified that the air intake duct on VQ23/35DE engines may become detached from the intermediate resonator of the engine's air intake system. This can result in unstable idling poor acceleration or engine stall whilst driving
Recalled vehicles will have the subject air intake duct replaced.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
It has been identified that the driver's airbag on some K12 Micras due to incorrect welding of the airbag module may not deploy in the event of a frontal impact. Thus potentially reducing the protection afforded to the vehicle's occupants.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject airbag replaced.
POSSIBLE FAILURE OF PARKING BRAKE
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the intermediate handbrake connector may break resulting in the cable potentially separating from the connector. The possibility then exists that parking brake functionality would be lost.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject connector replaced.
FUEL MAY LEAK FROM PARTICULATE FILTER
It has been identified that a connector in the diesel particulate filter fuel system may not be correctly attached. If this is ignored fuel may leak from the connector during a particulate filter regeneration cycle.
Recalled vehicles will have the connector checked and tightened as necessary.

Recalled vehicles will have the connector checked and tightened as necessary.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
The incorrect side airbag may deploy in the event of an accident.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the airbag control unit with one containing the correct logic.
