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 601–625 of 1,008 recalls.
ENGINE MAY OVERHEAT
It is possible that the hose connection between the coolant expansion tank and the bleed hose can work loose. If this should occur then coolant will leak and air will enter the system. Under these conditions the low coolant level warning light will not function. If the vehicle is driven in this condition it will cause engine damage and in the extreme possible failure.
Recall the affected vehicle to replace the tank and bleeder hose.
BONNET MAY OPEN UNINTENTIONALLY
On a small number of S60 cars it is possible that secondary bonnet catch will not lock in the closed position correctly. If the bonnet is not closed correctly it is possible that the secondary bonnet catch will not secure the bonnet which could result in it opening unintentionally.
Recall the affected vehicle for inspection and adjustment to the lock if required.

Under these conditions the low coolant level warning light will not function. If the vehicle is driven in this condition it will cause engine damage and in the extreme possible failure.
Recall the affected vehicle to replace the tank and bleeder hose.
ENGINE MAY SEIZE
On effected petrol and diesel engines a spring clamp on the radiator hose connecting it to the water inlet pipe may be insecure. If not rectified the engine may lose coolant overheat seize and suddenly slow the vehicle rapidly to a halt.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to have the radiator hose adequately secured.

FUEL MAY LEAK
It has been identified that a number of fuel pressure pipes may have a defect which could result in a fuel leakage. Although it can be identified by the smell of fuel it is possible although unlikely that an external heat source could ignite the fuel so resulting in a fire.
Recall affected for inspection of fuel pressure line and replacement if required.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It has been identified that water can enter the engine bay via the nearside air cleaner filter panel and ingress into the top alternator. This can then cause the bearing to fail which leads to an internal short circuit and in extreme cases possibly a fire.
Recall affected vehicles and fit a water trap to prevent water ingress into the alternator.
GEARBOX MAY JAM
A section of the gear shift mechanism may over time become loose and cause the mechanism to become jammed. If this was to occur it might not be possible to change gear or select neutral.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check that the ball joint for the gear selector is properly secured.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING FLUID MAY CAUSE A FIRE
A joint on the high pressure line of the power assisted steering may not have been assembled correctly. This may lead to a leakage of steering fluid into the engine bay. This could result in sudden loss of power assistance but in extreme cases it could result in a localised fire within the engine bay.
Recall affected vehicles to check and if required torque the unit up to the correct specification.

ENGINE MAY LOOSE DRIVE AND POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE.
The auxiliary drive belt tensioner may fail. This can lead to loss of steering power assistance and a slight possibility of loss of drive should the drive belt or tensioner invade the cambelt area.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the auxiliary drive belt and tensioner.
