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 51–59 of 59 recalls.
STARTER SUPPLY WIRE MAY CHAFE
The positioning of the starter motor supply terminal may not conform to specification. Contact with a neighbouring component could cause a short circuit.
On affected vehicles check the position of the terminal and where necessary reposition. Replace damaged components if necessary.
STARTER MOTOR MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
A possible nonconformity of an internal component of the starter motor relay could affect the control of the starter motor. This could adversely affect the starting operation and damage the starter motor due to overheating and in extreme cases there is a risk of fire.
On affected vehicles check and where necessary replace the starter motor relay.
OIL LEAK MAY DAMAGE ENGINE
An oil leak could develop at the turbocharger lubrication union retaining bolt due to a non-conformity of this part.
On affected vehicles replace the turbocharger lubrication union bolt and its seals.
FUEL MAY LEAK
The fuel heating device integrated in to the diesel fuel filter cover may be defective and allow heat to build up within the electrical supply connector causing the cover to distort and air to enter the fuel circuit. This could make the vehicles difficult to start and a warning light will be illuminated on the dash board. The engine could be difficult or not possible to start. In the worst cases a diesel fuel leak could eventually appear.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel heater cover. Additionally the electrical connector will be inspected and where necessary replaced.
DRIVERS SEAT AIRBAG MAY MALFUNCTION
Affected vehicles may present friction wear on the driver's seat wiring harness. Potentially causing an electrical malfunction and in worst case scenario cause the unwanted triggering of the driver's seat air bag.
The remedial operation consists of reinforcing and clamping the driver's seat harness.
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.
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
FUEL MAY LEAK
On some 2.0 l HDI vehicles potential contact between the fuel return pipe and the diesel filter support may eventually cause the pipe to become worn through friction.
The manufacturer has requested that some protection be added to the pipe to ensure its long-term resistance to wear.
LOSS OF WINDSCREEN WIPER FUNCTION
It has been identified that the potential exists that sub-standard front windscreen wiper mechanism were fitted during production. This can result when in use for one or more of the wiper arms to be immobilised in a random position. With the consequence of partial or total loss of the windscreen wiper function.
Recalled vehicles will have the windscreen wiper motors inspected and changed as necessary.
