Recalls
Filed by the manufacturer with a regulator. A recall is repaired free of charge, whoever owns the car now.
A12/00965/24
Due to an incorrect specification of the air exchanger, the air conditioning can stop, affecting the engine performance. Emissions may then deviate from the regulatory requirements, which poses a risk to the environment. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

SR/00019/26
The fuel rail protector may have been incorrectly assembled, which could cause its mounting bracket to fracture under certain driving conditions. In the event of a frontal collision, the fuel rail could break and leak fuel into the engine compartment, increasing the risk of fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Recall of the product from end users
SR/02253/26
The mounting brackets for the front subframe supporting the toolbox and the rear tailgate latches may not comply with the manufacturer’s specifications. As a result, the subframe mountings could fail, causing the toolbox to detach from the chassis, and the rear tailgate latches could unlock, allowing the tailgate to open while the vehicle is in motion. This could result in unsecured contents falling onto the road, creating an accident risk for other road users. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Recall of the product from end users
SR/03322/25
The intermediate steering column shaft is not correctly positioned, which may cause damage during installation. Such damage may result in a variation in the feel of the power-assisted steering, potentially causing loss of control over the vehicle leading to an accident. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
