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 451–475 of 694 recalls.
REAR SCREEN COULD DETACH
On the affected vehicles the rear screen seal may not conform which could lead to water ingress in the boot and poor ageing of the seal. In very rare cases the rear screen could detach.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to remove and refit the rear screen.
RISK OF UNDER BONNET FIRE
It is possible that a leak can occur between the injector spill rail connection and the plastic fuel return pipe. This can cause leakage of fuel which can either pool on the engine cylinder head and then become deposited onto the road surface where it could cause a skid risk to other motorist or if the fuel comes into contact with extremely hot engine components an exhaust manifold for instance it is possible that an under bonnet fire could ensue.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the sealing of the fuel return pipe connection on each injector and if necessary replace the injectors as well as the fuel return pipes.
INABILITY TO CHANGE GEAR
Over time partial wear of the gearbox control harnesses may occur due to contact with surrounding components. Gear selection may be affected as a result of electrical faults in some rare cases including the lighting of the warning lamp on the instrument panel and the driveability of the vehicle may be compromised.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the condition of the gearbox control harness and where necessary fit additional protection.
POTENTIAL FOR REDUCED STEERING CONTROL
The steering column link bolt which retains the steering wheel to the steering column may not have been tighten to the correct specification. This can result in a gradual increase in movement between the steering wheel and shaft with an associated rattle. This should identify the issue to the driver however if the driver does not heed this warning then the steering control of the vehicle could be reduced.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required re-torque the steering column link bolt.

POSSIBLE LOSS OF BRAKING ASSISTANCE
On the affected vehicles an internal component of the braking assistance system vacuum pump may not conform. This could over time lead to a reduction in braking assistance.
Replacement of the vacuum pump
SPOT WELDS MAY NOT HOLD
On a very limited number of vehicles it is necessary to check the presence of specific spot welds on the vehicle body shell. Should it be identified that one of the welds has been missed in production the vehicle cannot be repaired. In the long term and in very rare cases body noises and squeaking could appear.
In the rare case that the vehicle does not comply the vehicle will be removed from the road and the customer will be provided with a replacement vehicle.

LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL
On affected vehicles the upper section of the front right shock absorber may not be correctly tightened. This could eventually cause noise or banging and if left may affect the efficiency of the shock absorber.
Replace the front right shock absorber.
REAR BRAKE CALLIPER MOUNTING BOLT COULD WORK LOOSE
The tightening torque of the rear brake calliper mounting bolts could be incorrect. This incorrect tightening torque may in very rare cases eventually lead to the slackening of the bolt and an increase in noise during braking
Replace the bolts and tighten to the correct torque

HANDBRAKE MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
On the affected vehicles the fixing of the handbrake cable support stop may not be to specification which could cause long term loss of handbrake efficiency.
The strengthening of the fixing of the handbrake cable support stop on the chassis. This operation will avoid any long term loss of handbrake efficiency.
BRAKING ASSISTANCE MAY BE REDUCED
One of the vacuum hose unions in the braking system may not be to specification. This could cause a reduction in braking assistance.
Check and if necessary replace the hose.
ESP MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
Some vehicles from the affected production batch may have an issue with the effectiveness of the ESP system caused by non-conformity with the ABS/ESP hydraulic block. Consequences: This non-conformity will not affect the operation of the ABS system or the efficiency of the brakes. It may affect the operation of the ESP system on the rare occasions that it is activated; the correction of the drive delivered to the road wheel(s) when the ESP is activated may not be accurate to how it is manufactured to respond.
The hydraulic ABS/ESP block is to be replaced.
ENGINE MAY FAIL
It is possible that the con-rod bearing shells will not conform to manufacturer specification. This could lead to premature deterioration of the shells and in time cause the engine to fail.

STEERING MAY DETACH
It is possible the mountings for the steering mechanism to engine subframe may not have been torqued to the correct specification. If this is the case the issue will be highlighted to the driver by noise or play in the steering. If the driver fails to take action to rectify the issue the steering may detach causing a possible loss of control.
Recall affected vehicles to check the torque of the mountings and if necessay replace the steering mechanism.
REAR CROSS MEMBER MAY CRACK
Over a period of time a small crack can appear on the rear axle cross member particularly under conditions of repeated maximum suspension travel. The small crack could increase in size and eventually lead to the rear wheel rubbing on the wheel arch.
Replace the rear axle cross member and suspension bump stops.
BRAKES MAY FAIL
During production it is possible the brake system may not have been bled correctly and some air may remain in the brake system. This could result in increased brake pedal travel and a possible reduction in braking efficiency.
Affected vehicles will be recalled to have the brake system bled.
BONNET CATCH MAY NOT LATCH CORRECTLY
On a small batch of vehicles the bonnet catch may not be correctly installed. If the bonnet is opened and then closed incorrectly it could result in the latch being insecure.
Recall affected vehicles to check the bonnet catch. Where necessary the bonnet catch will be replaced.
STEERING MAY FAIL
The track rod end ball joints on the steering rack may not have been torqued to the correct specification. If this is not rectified it could result in steering failure.
Recall all affected vehicles and re-torque the track rod end to steering arm joint.
TYRE MAY DEFLATE
Some tyres may have suffered superficial damage when the vehicle was being transported. The front Left hand tyre may have localised damage on the tread or the inner side. The tyre may rip and deflate.
Carry out a visual check of the condition of the tyre in the affected areas and replace the tyre if necessary.
