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 251–275 of 409 recalls.
REAR WHEEL COULD DETACH
It is possible that the rear wheel bearing was damaged whilst it was assembled onto the stub axle. This could result in bearing failure and the detachment of the wheel and hub.
Replace rear wheel bearing and hub carrier.

It is possible that the rear wheel bearing was damaged whilst it was assembled onto the stub axle. This could result in bearing failure and the detachment of the wheel and hub.
Replace rear wheel bearing and hub carrier.
SPARE WHEEL MAY BECOME DETACHED
The spare wheel carrier winch system may allow the spare wheel to be loosely installed after the customer has used the winch. In this condition the spare wheel might move during driving which may damage and eventually break the cable and guiding pin of the winch system. In this worst case the spare wheel would become detached from the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the complete spare wheel winch system.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the complete spare wheel winch system.
POWER ASSISTED STEERING COULD FAIL
Risk of contact between the power - assisted steering electrical supply and the steering column universal joint which could lead to power-assistance failure.
Repositioning of the electrical cable away from steering universal joint.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
The drivers airbag may not deploy in an accident and the passenger airbag could deploy at anytime even when it has been deactivated.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to reprogramme the airbag computer.
LOSS OF STEERING
Risk of losing steering due to the incorrect tightness of the universal joint fixing screw.
Retighten screw if required to the correct torque and paint mark on screw and the clamp

CRACKED WHEEL HUB**
Cracked R/H/F hub carrier. This has the potential risk of the hub carrier rupturing.
Replacement of the hub carrier.
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.
INCORRECT CRIMPING OF REAR HUB BEARING NUT
It is possible that the rear axle wheel bearing securing nut may not be correctly crimped. This could result in the slackening of the torque on the bearing and possible in extreme conditions detachment of the hub assembly. Warning of the issue is provided to the driver in the form of either a vibration or the illumination of the ABS warning light.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required replace the bearing securing nut.

This could result in the slackening of the torque on the bearing and possible in extreme conditions detachment of the hub assembly. Warning of the issue is provided to the driver in the form of either a vibration or the illumination of the ABS warning light.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required replace the bearing securing nut.
REAR AXLE MAY FAIL
Because of a manufacturing error the nearside rear stub axle could start to develop cracks at the inner radius which could eventually lead to failure of the stub axle and difficulty in maintaining directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the rear axle.
REAR AXLE MAY FAIL
There is a risk that the nearside rear axle spindle may crack which in the most serious cases will lead to the spindle breaking which dependent on loading could make directional control difficult to maintain.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to change the rear axle.
FRONT SEAT MAY FAIL
It has been found that some of the front seat mounting brackets have not been correctly fitted to the seats. The front seat mountings could fail if the fitting brackets have been incorrectly fitted. Vehicle control could be affected.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary fit new seat assemblies.
SEAT BELT MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
The seat belt positioning may be incorrect due to the front seat brackets not being to specification. This could affect the seat security and seat belt performance if an accident occurs.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary fit new seat assemblies.
ENGINE OIL MAY LEAK
Engine oil may leak due to the turbocharger oil pipe not being to specification. If not corrected this concern could lead to a skid danger to other road users catastrophic failure of the turbo/engine or in the worst case fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the turbocharger oil l pipe.
SUSPENSION TURRET MAY FAIL
The suspension turret panel may fail due to inadequate welding being applied at the factory.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to apply further weld to the nearside inner wing suspension turret.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the front brakes hoses may become disconnected resulting in a loss of brake hydraulic fluid and a reduction in braking efficiency.
Recalled vehicles will have both front brake hoses replaced.
UNEXPECTED APPLICATION OF PARKING BRAKE
The parking brake may apply without input from the driver as a result of a programming error.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary reprogramme the electronic parking brake computer.
SEAT BELT MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
There is a possibility that the drivers seat belt pretensioner cable may fail through fatigue and therefore not restrain the driver correctly during a collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the pretensioner with one that is redesigned.
REAR BENCH SEAT MAY JAM
The rear passengers may not be sufficiently restrained during an accident if the manually adjustable bench seat mechanism jams.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a reinforcement bracket and a cable tie to the seat adjustment mechanism.
DRIVERS SEAT MAY DETACH
Due to the non-conformity of some welds under situations of extreme braking the driver's seat may detach from the floor fixing.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject welds and fixing lugs re-welded.
POTENTIAL LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL.
The rear pneumatic suspension leaves may fail this will result in noise from the suspension and if not rectified may result in loss of directional control.
Recall the affected vehicles for the replacement of the rear pneumatic suspension leaves.
