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 51–74 of 74 recalls.
BONNET CATCH MAY OPEN
The bonnet lock mechanism my seize and allow the bonnet to open whilst the vehicle is in motion causing a loss of vision.
In the first instance lubricate and free off the bonnet lock mechanism. When parts become available replace bonnet lock mechanism.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
Certain circumstances can trigger the Occupant Detection System (ODS) to incorrectly detect a high rise in capacitance which deactivates the ODS and turns the passenger airbag off. This is signalled to the driver via the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). If a heavy frontal collision occurs after the MIL illuminates the airbag will not deploy.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the Occupant Detection Unit.
ENGINE MAY STALL
The crack on air intake ducts could cause the engine rough idle lower the power and the engine stall. Engine may stall whilst driving. Possible safety hazard whilst driving in traffic
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check date on air intake duct. Depending on finds the air intake ducts may have to be replaced.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger side frontal air bag the subject propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture with metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring the vehicle occupants.
On affected vehicles replace passenger front air bag inflator.
BRAKE LAMPS MAY NOT FUNCTION
There is no inherent problem with the brake lamp switch. However if the brake lamp switch did fail the driver would not be informed that the brake lamps were not working or the adaptive cruise control or pre-collision braking. The brake lamps not working would increase the risk of an incident during normal driving.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and reprogram the driving support system.
BRAKE FLUID MAY LEAK
It is possible that corrosion can form on unprotected hidden brake pipes. This could result in the failure of the pipes and loss of brake fluid which can affect the brake system and ultimately cause reduced braking efficiency.
Recall all affected vehicles to inspect and if required replace the subject brake pipes.

Recall all affected vehicles to inspect and if required replace the subject brake pipes.
BRAKES MAY FAIL
It is possible that the metallic brake pipes that connect to the four way connector may be affected by corrosion in the Salt Belt Areas. If left unattended this could result in the pipes being subject to excessive corrosion which may cause a fluid leak. In extreme cases this may result in a reduction in braking efficiency.
Recall all affected vehicles to inspect and either provide additional protection or replace the brake pipes.

ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
It is possible that the main engine wiring harness may have been incorrectly routed within the engine bay. This can allow the harness to chaff on the engine inlet manifold. This can result in damage to the harness which will either cause rough running of the engine illumination of the engine management light or in the extreme cases cause the engine to cut out.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the routing of the harness and if necessary reroute and repair the harness.

LOWER CONTROL ARMS MAY FAIL
The front Transverse links (lower Control Arms) may corrode leading to possible breakage if left without treatment.
Either additional rust proofing or replacement of the Transverse links will be performed according to the degree of corrosion.
LOWER CONTROL ARMS MAY FAIL
The front Transverse links (lower Control Arms) may corrode leading to possible breakage if left without treatment.
Either additional rust proofing or replacement of the Transverse links will be performed according to the degree of corrosion.
STEERING CONTROL COULD BE LOST
Corrosion of the front suspension struts may cause the steering knuckle to become detached from the front suspension strut leading to loss of directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary replace the front suspension struts.
CVT GEARBOX OIL MAY LEAK AND LOSS OF DRIVE MAY OCCUR
A gearbox oil cooler hose may split causing loss of drive and oil to leak onto the road surface with the ensuing danger to other road users.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a modified oil cooler hose.

A gearbox oil cooler hose may split causing loss of drive and oil to leak onto the road surface with the ensuing danger to other road users.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a modified oil cooler hose.
REAR BRAKE CALIPER UNION BOLT MAY LEAK
The rear brake caliper union bolt contacts the rear stabiliser which may cause the union to leak with the consequence that brake performance may be reduced.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a stabiliser clamp which will restrict movement.
REAR DOOR MAY NOT CLOSE CORRECTLY
The rear door outer handle may suffer from improper operation. This could result in the door failing to close properly.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject door inspected and if necessary the handle will be replaced
OIL FLOW CONTROL VALVE COVER RETAINING BOLTS MAY BECOME LOOSE
The oil flow control valve cover retaining bolts may become loose with the result that the engine may leak oil and the risk of a fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the oil flow control valve cover retaining bolts re-tightened to a revised torque.
