Rappels

En recours, faute de mieux : publiés par la DVSA depuis janvier 1992, en anglais, sans fiche RappelConso. La même campagne a souvent eu lieu en France, sans qu'on puisse le vérifier : à lire si le vendeur ou le garage en parle.

• Moteurfabriquées de septembre 2009 à juillet 2011

  Replace vanos bolts n51 n52 n55. On affected vehicles overtime the aluminium screws can loosen or break on the adjustable variable camshaft timing (VANOS) units potentially resulting in engine emergency mode being activated. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA

• Circuit électriquefabriquées d'avril 2004 à mai 2011

  The blower regulator wiring could be damaged and could lead to partial contact of individual wire strands. The blower-regulator wiring could be damaged and could lead to partial contact of individual wire strands. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA

• Circuit électriquefabriquées d'octobre 2006 à juin 2011

  Plug in contact cable may malfunction. The positive battery cable to the front distribution box behind the glove box can become damaged by vibrations and frictional corrosion. This may cause a loss of electrical connection to the distributions box. Symptoms include being unable to gain entry or start the car but the most common are a flickering instrument panel or uneven engine performance. However if the electrical connection is completely lost this will also affect the operation of the vehicles lighting systems; e.g. sidelights or hazard warning lamps. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA

• Transmissionfabriquées de décembre 2010 à avril 2011

  Driveshaft universal joint may break. Due to insufficient strength the front universal joint in the rear front universal joint of the rear prop shaft may fail. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA

• Circuit électriquefabriquées de décembre 2009 à octobre 2011

  Plug in contact cable may malfunction. It is possible that the connection between the B+ cable and the Power Distribution Box can become damaged by wear and heat which is caused by high current flow and high contact resistance. Normally this will result in a non-start situation after parking the vehicle. However it is possible that this could in extreme cases occur whilst the vehicle is in motion. The driver should be made aware of the issue by flickering of the instrument cluster (dash) or an engine mis-fire; but if the driver does not then the engine could cut-out without warning.

• Moteurfabriquées de septembre 2009 à novembre 2011

  Engine emergency mode may be activated during driving. The screws retaining the variable camshaft timing (VANOS) housing may loosen and under certain circumstances the heads may break off. This can lead to the VANOS leaking oil internally and adversely affect the valve timing adjustment. If found to deviating from targeted data the engine emergency mode will be activated. This will be indicated by a distinct change in engine running. The orange engine management warning lamp and a check message; On vehicles with N51/N52 engines this will appear at ignition recycle on N55 engine it will display immediately.

• Circuit de carburantfabriquées de mai 2009 à novembre 2009

  Possibility of fire. Due to a fault with an internal connection within the Fuel Filter Heater (FFH) it is possible that during temperatures below freezing the FFH can remain permanently activated. This will normally cause the FFH to overheat which will result in the inability to start the vehicle due to a flat battery. This can occur even when the ignition is turned off. However in extreme cases it could cause a vehicle fire. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA

• Directionfabriquées de juin 2007 à décembre 2011

  Eps may not perform as specified. Due to a component in the integrated control module not being to specification it is possible power steering assistance may fail. If this happens the EPS warning lamp will illuminate and a check control message will appear on the dashboard display. Directional control will be maintained albeit with additional driver input.

• Circuit de carburantfabriquées d'août 2008 à juin 2009

  Risk of fire. Moisture may enter the fuel filter heater at an electrical connection. Should this occur it can cause a discharge of the battery causing non starting of the vehicle. Also if it occurs whilst the vehicle is in motion it could result in a fire when the vehicle is left unattended. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA

• Ceintures, sièges, attelage, carrosseriefabriquées de novembre 2006 à mai 2010 (petite série)

  Fire may occur. The top seat belt automatic reel with pyrotechnic ignited pre-tensioner fitted is mounted too close to the sound insulation both nearside and offside. If the vehicle is involved in a substantial collision where the pre-tensioners are deployed a fire may occur as it is possible for the hot gases to ignite the sound insulation.

• Freinsfabriquées en mars 2006

  Possible loss of braking power assistance. A temporary fault in the greasing system on the brake servo sealing ring could lead to the sealing ring being subject to wear. In unfavourable conditions the seal may be pressed into the brake servo housing as a consequence of increased friction. The arising leak will cause a hissing sound audible within the vehicle interior with the additional consequence that there may be a risk that loss of brake assistance will ensue.

• Roues, essieux et châssisfabriquées de mai 2004 à septembre 2004 (petite série)

  Connections on the control arm to the rear axle may become loose. The rear axle control arms may not have been fitted as intended. In consequence the connections on the control arms concerned may become loose causing unacceptable lateral forces to be applied to the securing bolts. In this situation exact alignment of the wheels can no longer be guaranteed. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA
