Showing 14126–14150 of 15,570 recalls.
POSSIBLE FUEL LEAK
The gaiter and associated parts connecting the fuel filler neck to the tank may not conform to specification. This may cause a fuel leak which could contaminate the tyres and adversely affect the handling of the car.
Replace the fuel filler neck connecting system with parts that comply with the specification.
POSSIBLE LEAK FROM GEARBOX OIL RADIATOR PIPES.
The gearbox oil radiator return and delivery pipes may leak due to an error in the manufacturing process. This could impair the operation and reliability of the gearbox.
Fit quality assured oil radiator return and delivery pipes.
POSSIBLE CASTING DEFECT IN FRONT STEERING KNUCKLES
Steering knuckle casting may crack
Recall affected vehicles and using dye penetrant inspection techniques check the steering knuckles for the presence of a crack. Replace with new any part failing the above test.
AIR BRAKE SYSTEM INCORRECTLY PIPED.
The air brake system has been incorrectly piped. Normally the system will function correctly but if a rear brake reservoir pipe should fail the front brakes may also become ineffective.
Recall the affected vehicles and interchange two brake pipe connections.
POSSIBLE DETACHMENT OF FUEL FEED AND RETURN PIPES FROM FUEL RAIL
The fuel feed and return pipes may detach from the fuel rail and result in a petrol leak.
Fit improved feed and return pipe connectors to the fuel rail.
REAR BRAKE SHOE OPERATING SHAFT MAY BREAK
If excessive pressure is applied to the brake pedal the brake actuating cam mounted in the rear brake hub may fracture. This will result in failure of the rear brake.
Fit a modified rear brake operating cam shaft.
PARKING HEATER DOES NOT COMPLY WITH ADR SPECIFICATION
The parking heater has not been fitted with a short duration timer to reduce the fire risk when carrying volatile loads.
Fit a short duration timing device to the heater system.
POSSIBLE INADVERTANT DEPLOYMENT OF FRONT AIRBAG(S).
A capacitor in the front air bag control unit may short circuit This could lead to an inadvertent deployment of the air bag(s).
Check the air bag control module and renew where found necessary.
REAR SIDE LIGHTS AND NUMBER PLATE LIGHT MAY FAIL
A combination switch may fail. If this occurs the rear side lights and number plate lights will fail to function. (Brake lights and indicators will operate as normal).
Recall vehicles and replace the combination switch.
POSSIBLE DETACHMENT OF BRAKE PEDAL LINKAGE RETAINING CLIP.
A brake pedal linkage retaining clip may become detached after high mileage. Although no incidents have been reported in the worst case a pedal link could become detached and render the footbrake ineffective.
Fit modified brake pedal linkage retaining clips.
REAR WINDOW WIPER MAY BREAK OFF
The rear window wiper may loosen during high speed driving. This may cause the wiper to break off.
Replace the wiper arm and blade
POSSIBLE SHORT CIRCUIT IN ENGINE COOLING FAN CONTROL UNIT
A short circuit may occur in the engine cooling fan control unit with a resultant risk of overheating.
Fit a new cooling fan control unit.
STEERING AND BRAKES POWER ASSISTANCE HOSE MAY LEAK
Brakes and Steering Power assistance hose may leak
Recall affected vehicles and replace hose with one to the correct specification
BRAKE SERVO VACUUM PIPE MAY CRACK AND LEAK.
The brake servo vacuum supply pipe may crack and leak. This could result in a loss of power assistance and require the driver to apply a lot more force to the brake pedal.
Examine the condition of the vacuum supply pipe and fit an improved quality replacement where necessary.
BRAKE SERVO VACUUM PIPE MAY CRACK AND LEAK.
The brake servo vacuum supply pipe may crack and leak. This could result in a loss of power assistance and require the driver to apply a lot more force to the brake pedal.
Examine the condition of the vacuum supply pipe and fit an improved quality replacement where necessary.
BRAKE VACUUM SUPPLY PIPE CONCERN
On Octavia vehicles within the affected chassis number range tension cracks may occur on the vacuum pipe to the brake servo in the area of the pipe connections due to a manufacturing fault. If a vacuum pipe leaks the brake servo loses it's function. Without servo assistance a lot more force must be used on the pedal. But this will not lead to total failure of the brake system.
The fitted vacuum pipes will be checked and if necessary replaced.
POWER ASSISTED STEERING HOSE MAY CONTACT THE LEFT HAND EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND BURN THROUGH
Power assisted steering high pressure flexible hose may contact the left hand exhaust manifold and burn through leading to a progressive loss of hydraulic fluid and power assistance.
Check the position of the high pressure hose in relation to the exhaust manifold. If the hose is touching the manifold or there is insufficient air gap fit a new high pressure hose and reposition and clip as specified.
DRIVERS SEAT WALK-IN DEVICE CONCERN
A concern has been identified with the driver's seat walk-in device. If ignored it may cause unintended movement of the seat whilst driving.
Fit a modified component to the walk-in device mechanism.
POSSIBLE FUEL SPILLAGE WHEN PETROL CAP IS OPENED
The check valve in the fuel tank inlet that prevents reverse fuel flow is incorrectly fitted on some vehicles . This could cause fuel to spill out when the cap is opened if there is high internal pressure in the fuel tank.
Correctly fit the check valve or if necessary replace the fuel tank and check valve.
POSSIBLE MALFUNCTION OF ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The engine management system could possibly continue to use the the last received data from the vehicle ECU. For example in the event of a datalink short the vehicle may not switch to limp home mode but continue to respond to the last received command from either the throttle or cruise control.
Re-programme the engine ECU (EECU).

WELD SEAM ON REAR AXLE IS NOT TO SPECIFICATION
The weld seam securing the brake unit mounting plate to the rear axle may not be to specification on a small number of vehicles within the affected range..
Check the production date code and replace the axle where found necessary.

INDICATOR TELL TALE MAY NOT SHOW A FAULT WHEN EXTERNAL INDICATORS FAIL
When power is lost to the external indicators the internal tell tale lamp continues to flash as if there was no fault which is in contravention of the UK requirements.
Replace the general electrical control module with one which has modified software.
