Showing 301–325 of 384 recalls.
STEERING MAY FAIL
It has been identified that the welds to the left front suspension-strut turret many not be to specification. This could lead to detachment of the suspension-strut turret detachment and subsequent loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles and apply additional weld seams to the turret.
HANDBRAKE MAY FAIL
The mounting end of the handbrake cable may move in its support bracket. This might result in the loss of the handbrake function.
Recall affected vehicles to either have a washer installed or the replacement of the cable.
STEERING MAY FAIL
The steering column intermediate shaft may have a loose press fit on the upper joint yoke. If left increased free play and a knocking noise will develop which if ignored could lead to loss of steering.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a new intermediate steering shaft.
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
The intermediate steering shaft may not be correctly coupled to the steering column which in certain driving conditions could result in disconnection and loss of steering control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary reassemble the intermediate steering shaft to the steering column correctly.
RIGHT FRONT SEAT WELD MAY NOT BE TO SPECIFICATION
The welding to the right hand front single seat may not be to specification. In the event of an accident the right hand front seat may separate from the floor panel.
Recall the likely to be affected vehicles to add two welding seams on each rear bracket on the right hand front seat pedestal.
SEAT BELTS MAY BECOME INSECURE
The bolt securing the outer seat belt buckles may become loose on the 2nd and if fitted 3d row seats
Recall affected vehicles remove bolt remove washer clean and refit bolt applying thread lock
POSSIBLE FAILURE OF PARKING BRAKE
It has been identified that the parking brake cable connector situated between the primary and intermediate parking brake cables may fracture. Should this occur the parking brake function would be lost.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject cable connector replaced.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT
The laser cut split line of the passenger air-bag cover may not be present. In the case of an accident it is possible that the passenger air-bag may not deploy.
Recall the likely to be affected vehicles and replace the passenger air-bag module cover.
BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE REDUCED
There could be an unexpected loss of braking performance due to the ABS/ESP Modulator not being correctly filled with hydraulic oil at the factory.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the ABS/ESP hydraulic modulator and control unit.
RISK OF FIRE
It has been identified that on vehicles fitted with the Z16XEP engine the upper oil pressure switch might release oil onto the exhaust manifold heat protection shield which could result in self ignition.
Recalled vehicles will have the upper oil pressure switch replaced by a screw plug. Additionally a modified oil pressure switch will be fitted in a lower position.
HANDBRAKE MAY PARTIALLY RELEASE
Following a small number of complaints of Vauxhall Vectra and Signum vehicles rolling away due to allegedly defective handbrakes. Vauxhall engineers in conjunction with consultants and other bodies have conducted rigorous testing and found that provided the handbrake is applied correctly without depressing the release button the handbrake is perfectly safe.
In line with it's priority of continuous improvement recalled vehicles will be fitted with a modified handbrake mechanism to reduce the possibility of a partial release.

STEERING MAY FAIL
It has been identified that due to a manufacturing deviation the base material for the telescopic tube of the intermediate steering shaft may lack the required rigidity. This may lead to breakage of the shaft which in the worst case would lead to loss of steering control.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a quality assured steering shaft.
ABS MAY FAIL
It is possible for moisture to enter the ABS connector/control unit. This can cause the ABS system not to function correctly and in the worst case overheating which may lead to fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the ABS control unit fit a protective cover to the control unit and seal the earth point with wax.
ABS MAY FAIL
It is possible for moisture to enter the ABS connector/control unit. This can cause the ABS system not to function correctly and in the worst case overheating which may lead to fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the ABS control unit fit a protective cover to the control unit and seal the earth point with wax.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the ABS control unit fit a protective cover to the control unit and seal the earth point with wax.
STEERING CONTROL MAY BE LOST
The retaining ring of the steering gear pinion might be out of it's retaining groove. In the worst case the steering gear pinion may lose engagement resulting in loss of steering control
Recall affected vehicles and replace steering gear assembly
STEERING CONTROL MAY BE LOST
The retaining ring of the steering gear pinion might be out of it's retaining groove. In the worst case the steering gear pinion may lose engagement resulting in loss of steering control
Recall affected vehicles and replace steering gear assembly
STEERING CONTROL MAY BE LOST
The retaining ring of the steering gear pinion might be out of it's retaining groove. In the worst case the steering gear pinion may lose engagement resulting in loss of steering control
Recall affected vehicles and replace steering gear assembly
STEERING CONTROL MAY BE LOST
It has been identified that on a certain number of 2007 model year vehicles the front lower suspension control arms might fracture near the bushing due to a production deviation during the welding process. The control arm may then lack rigidity; which may impair driving stability. In the worst case the driver may loose control of the vehicle.
Subject vehicles will have the control arm welds checked and replaced as necessary.
PARKING BRAKE MAY FAIL
It has been identified that cracking of the parking brake actuating levers of the rear axle disc brake calipers may lead to loss of parking brake function.
Recalled vehicles will be inspected and affected parts replaced as necessary.
REAR ALLOY ROAD WHEEL MAY FRACTURE
In extreme driving conditions it is possible that the rear wheel/s may fracture.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check that H.T. is stamped on the inside of one of the spokes. I there is no such marking the wheel/s must be replaced.
HEATED WASHER NOZZLE MAY SHORT CIRCUIT
It is possible that moisture may enter the heated washer nozzle housing and cause a short circuit of the heating elements. In the worse case a fire may ensue.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to disconnect the heated washer nozzle housings.
AIRBAG MAY INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY
In some circumstances there is a possibility that the side airbag may inadvertently deploy.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit additional springs to the front seats so that any electrostatic discharge will correctly earthed.
REAR SEAT CENTRE BELT MIGHT NOT RESTRAIN THE SEAT OCCUPANT IN A FRONTAL IMPACT
It has been identified that during the manufacturing process the lock bar may not have been fitted to the belt retractor. In the worst case the restraint function of the rear seat centre belt might not operate correctly in the case of a frontal impact.
Recalled vehicles will have the rear centre seat belt inspected and replaced if necessary.
