REAR LEFT HAND SEAT BELT MOUNTING MAY FAIL
The near side rear seat belt upper mounting bolt may not have been tightened to the correct specification. In the event of an accident the belt may be insecure and not act as intended.
On affected vehicles tighten bolt to correct specification
POSSIBLE ENGINE FAILURE / RISK OF FIRE
On affected vehicles the turbocharger induction pipe may fail allowing oil to leak. Vehicle users may notice a drop in oil level which should also cause the oil warning lamp to illuminate. This may lead to engine failure and In extreme cases a risk of fire.
On affected vehicles replace the turbocharger oil induction pipe.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY
There is a risk the passenger airbag mounting bolts are incorrectly installed which can lead to the airbag not correctly deploying. If a heavy front end collision occurs the passenger could sustain additional injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check for the presence of the bolts and if missing fit new one(s).
SEAT BELT ANCHORAGE POINTS MAY BE INSECURE
On affected vehicles the rear side members may not have been correctly constructed. This could compromise seat belt operation during a collision.
Renault Dealers will advise of any action required
BENCH SEAT MAY MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING
The beach seat base mounting screws may break when the bench is repeatedly repositioned to allow a flat load area. Should this happen a noise will be heard from the bench. In exceptional cases if the screw has broken this may cause a loss of protection during an impact.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the vehicle. A metal insert will be fitted between the seatback folding pivot and the mounting screw (left and right). Additionally the mounting screws (left and right) will also be replaced.
SIDE AIRBAGS MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY OR THEY MAY DEPLOY INCORRECTLY
The airbag computer (ECU) incorrectly interprets the data provided by the lateral shock sensors and can reverse it. In the event of a side impact that is severe enough to cause side air bag deployment there is a risk of either non-deployment or activation of the airbags on the opposite side to the impact
On affected vehicles re-programme of the airbag ECU
BONNET MAY OPEN WITHOUT WARNING
On a small number of vehicles one or more of the bonnet lock bolts may not be correctly tightened. In exceptional cases this may cause the bonnet to open whilst driving.
On affected vehicles check and where necessary tighten bonnet lock bolts.
BRAKE EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
The front wheel arch liners may have been incorrectly positioned which may cause them to rub against the front brake hoses. In rare circumstances this could cause a low leakage from both front flexible brake hose leading to gradual increased brake pedal travel in extreme cases a sudden bursting of the flexible hose with sudden increased brake travel and a resultant affect on the braking efficiency. A warning light indicating a low brake fluid level will be displayed on the dashboard.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the front wheel arch liners and brake hoses. Where necessary reposition the wheel arch liners and replace the brake hose/s.
WHEEL MAY DETACHED
The wheel retaining nuts may not have been tightened top the correct specification during assembly.
Recall affected vehicles; Check and if necessary tighten wheel nuts to correct specification.
REAR SPOILER MAY DETACH
The rear spoiler may detach at high speed due to high variance in temperature change. This is a result of a non-conformity with the production process.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected for inspection and where necessary rebonding.
ENGINE POWER AND/OR BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED
On affected vehicles the drive to brake vacuum pump may fail. This may cause a loss of brake servo assistance and a hard brake pedal. It may also cause a reduction in engine power.
Check the manufacture date of the vacuum pump and where necessary replace the pump.
ENGINE POWER AND/OR BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED
On affected vehicles the drive to brake vacuum pump may fail. This may cause a loss of brake servo assistance and a hard brake pedal. It may also cause a reduction in engine power.
Check the manufacture date of the vacuum pump and where necessary replace the pump.
ENGINE POWER AND/OR BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED

Check the manufacture date of the vacuum pump and where necessary replace the pump.
BENCH BELT MAY NOT PERFORM AS INTENDED
Under excessive force to the belt the lock ring in the passenger seat belt retractor might break and the belt could become extendable. This will increase the risk of injury during a collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the passenger seat belt retractor and support.

REDUCTION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE
It is possible that the front wheel liners have been incorrectly positioned giving potential for them to rub against the front brake hoses. This in turn could in rare circumstances cause increased brake pedal travel and affect the braking efficiency of the vehicle. This issue may be highlighted by a warning message Braking system fault and a warning light on the dashboard.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the front wheel arch liners and brake hoses. If they are found to be incorrectly positioned they will be replaced free of charge.
POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF CONTROL
The front shock absorber (strut) mounting for the anti-roll bar rod may not be welded correctly. If the welding should fail there will initially be noise leading to the possibility for adversely affected vehicle handling because the anti-roll bar will no longer be connected the risk of contact and damage to the wheel rim tyre brake hose and ABS cable.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the shocker absorber (strut) build dates. The shock absorber that are in the affected range will be replaced.
LOSS OF BRAKING EFFICIENCY
It is possible that the front wheel liners have been incorrectly positioned giving potential for them to rub against the front brake hoses. This in turn could in rare circumstances cause increased brake pedal travel and affect the braking efficiency of the vehicle. This issue may be highlighted by a warning message Braking system fault and a warning light on the dashboard.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the front wheel arch liners and brake hoses. If they are found to be incorrectly positioned they will be replaced free of charge.
FUEL MAY LEAK
A fuel leak could occur at the fuel pressure sensor to injector rail seal due to a non conformance of production methods. If the leak occurs a smell will be noticed by the occupants of the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and re-tighten the fuel pressure sensor to a specified higher torque value.
SEATBELTS MAY MALFUNCTION IN A COLLISION
Due to an error in the manufacturing process the seat belt buckle may not retain the belt during a frontal impact.
On affected vehicles check build date of seat belt assembly and replace if necessary.
RISK OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION
Due to an error in the engine ECU software it is possible that the vehicle will suffer an unintended acceleration or not able to decelerate. The driver should still be able to control the vehicle by applying the brakes and manipulating the clutch and gears.
Recall all affected vehicles to reprogram the engine ECU with new software.
