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.

• Roues, essieux et châssisfabriquées de mars 2014 à janvier 2016

  Rear axle may detach. The rear axle bolts may not have been correctly tightened which may generate a noise from inside the wheel arch or cause friction on the Tyre. If the concern is not addressed it is possible for the axle to become uncoupled from the body of the vehicle. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA

• Directionfabriquées de septembre 2012 à décembre 2013

  Steering may be adversely affected. The customer may experience vibrations or noise from the steering wheel due to cracks starting in the steering wheel hub. If not rectified in the worst case over time the steering wheel could break and affect the directional control of the vehicle. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA

• Échappement et dépollutionfabriquées de décembre 2013 à septembre 2015

  Egr pipe may crack and allow exhaust gases to leak. It has been identified that during production the EGR pipe has been manufactured from incorrect thickness material. Due to the affect of stresses i.e. heat vibration etc on the pipe it can lead to cracking. If there is significant crack there is a possibility exhaust gases could leak. This could cause surrounding parts to deteriorate. If this happens the vehicle will emit black smoke from the exhaust there will be a loss of power and a warning light will illuminate on the instrument panel. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA

• Airbagsfabriquées de mai 2014 à décembre 2014

  Airbag may not deploy correctly. There is a risk the passenger airbag mounting bolts are incorrectly installed which can lead to the airbag not correctly deploying. If a heavy front end collision occurs the passenger could sustain additional injury. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA

• Ceintures, sièges, attelage, carrosseriefabriquées de janvier 2014 à mars 2016

• Directionfabriquées de mars 2014 à novembre 2014

  Steering may not perform as expected. The front axle wishbone mounting nuts may not have been tightened to the correct specification. The driver may experience noise from the front axle or find the steering becomes vague. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA

• Freinsfabriquées de mars 2014 à novembre 2014

  Brake pedal may loosen. It is possible for the servo mounting bolts to loosen. If the noises are ignored over time it is possible for the brakes to be compromised. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA

• Freinsfabriquées de mars 2014 à novembre 2014

  Parking brake may not perform correctly. The parking brake cable may not have been assembled correctly which can result in either the inability to apply the parking brake or the inability to release the parking brake. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA

• Ceintures, sièges, attelage, carrosseriefabriquées de septembre 2014 à octobre 2014

  Seat frame may fail. The integrity of the front seat bench frame for the passengers may be compromised because of non-compliance during the manufacturing processes. Customer may hear noises coming from underneath the bench. They may also notice some cracking on the seat frame angles. If the seat fails during a collision the passengers have an elevated risk of injury. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA

• Freinsfabriquées de juillet 2011 à septembre 2013

  Vehicle rear lighting systems may fail. There is a possibility that the rear lights may cease to function due to the wiring insulation being abraded on a roof lining angle bracket. If the rear lights cease to function there is an increased risk of collision as other road users are not warned of vehicle; position directional intent or braking intent. Warnings for the driver can be gained from acrid smell indicator tell-tale flashing faster than normal and other electrical items in the rear not working. Rappel sur le site de la DVSA
