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.

• Circuit électriquefabriquées de février 2002 à juillet 2010

  Possible corrosion of the bulkhead connector of the positive battery cable. The branch-off point of the main battery cable may corrode Rappel sur le site de la DVSA

• 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

• Circuit électriquefabriquées de mars 2003 à septembre 2010

  Risk of fire. The positive battery cable routed from the vehicle battery to the engine bay consists of one cable in the luggage compartment and one cable in the underbody. Both cable are connected by a screw connection and covered by a plastic cover. In single cases the plastic cover may have been fitted incorrectly during the vehicle production. Over time an incorrectly fitted cover could cause the screw connections to come loose leading to an increased resistance also humidity may affect the connection and cause high resistance and drop in current. This can lead to the vehicle not starting and in extreme cases the connection could over heat leading to the possibility of a fire in the luggage area. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA

• Circuit électriquefabriquées de novembre 2007 à février 2011

  Short circuit may occur. Due to the ingress of moisture it is possible that a short circuit can occur in the additional coolant pump for the exhaust turbocharger. The driver will be informed of the issue by a warning message on the display in the instrument panel. If not addressed it is possible for further heat build up in the pump which may cause the plug connection and housing to melt and in extreme cases a localised fire in the engine compartment or vehicle.

• 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

• Freinsfabriquées d'octobre 2001 à novembre 2009

  Possible reduction in brake servo assistance. It is possible that engine oil can enter the brake servo via the brake vacuum pump and vacuum hose. If this occurs it could damage the brake servo membrane which may leak so causing a reduction in braking assistance and a requirement to apply increased pedal force to achieve the same braking efficiency.

• Roues, essieux et châssisfabriquées en juin 2008

  Rear axle carrier may fail. It has been identified that defects in a material joint may have resulted during the heat treatment of individual components of the rear axle carrier. This may result in failure of the holders of the links and struts even under normal driving conditions. Should the holder of a link fail whilst the vehicle is in motion the handling characteristics of the vehicle would undergo an unexpected change which could result in an accident.

• Circuit de carburantfabriquées de novembre 2004 à janvier 2005

  The bearings of the fuel injection pump may fail. The bearings of the high pressure fuel injector pump may fail after a short travelled distance (approximately 3000 to 6000 miles) This leads to a total failure of the engine's fuel supply which results in the engine stalling.

• Ceintures, sièges, attelage, carrosseriefabriquées de septembre 2002 à juin 2004

  Front seat back-rest heater may overheat. Mechanical loads exerted on the back-rest heating element of the front seats when persons enter or exit the vehicle may result in damage to the door side contact line in the back-rest padding. In the event that this causes a break of a contact line the damaged area may overheat to unacceptable levels with the heater switched on. It would then not be possible to rule out the risk of minor burns to the occupants clothes and possibly their skin. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA

• Moteurfabriquées de mai 2004 à juillet 2004

  Possibility of inadvertnent loss of engine power. Due to a hardware fault within the digital engine electronic control unit the possibility exists that the unit could fail completely resulting in loss of engine power. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA

• Directionfabriquées de février 2004 à mars 2004 (petite série)

  Possibile fault in the dsc yaw rate sensor. Due to a possible manufacturing error the damping element of the Directional Stability Control (DSC) yaw rate sensor could be faulty. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA
