  1. Indicator failure warning may not appear

    Reported July 1, 2026Model years 2024–2025EU Safety Gate SR/02029/26

    The body control module may not detect a failed indicator bulb, so its warning may not appear. This could reduce communication with other road users and increase accident risk. The recall asks end users to return the product.

    Official EU Safety Gate text
    Component
    Injuries
    Defect
    Due to a mistranslation of the configuration data between two production systems, the vehicle’s body control module (BCM) may not be correctly configured to detect indicator light failures. If an indicator bulb fails, the BCM may not detect the fault and the warning signal may not illuminate, reducing communication with other road users and increasing the risk of 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.
    Remedy
    Recall of the product from end users
    Notes
    Notified by France

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    STEERING COULD BECOME INCREASINGLY STIFF.
    Defect
    It has been identified that; due to a possible lack of lubricant between the steering rack and pinion the steering may become increasingly stiff to operate. This can eventually lead to damage to the steering rack teeth. As a consequence the steering operation of the vehicle may become increasingly difficult.
    Remedy
    Recalled vehicles will have the steering rack inspected for damage. If no damage is evident the rack and pinion will be lubricated. Should any damage be in evidence the steering rack will be replaced.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    POSSIBILITY OF REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE
    Defect
    Due to the inlet filter for the EGR valve being in an exposed position there is a possibility of water entering the brake servo vacuum pipe. This could result in the possibility of ice forming in the brake servo vacuum pipe in conditions of low ambient temperature. As a consequence this may lead to reduced servo assistance to the braking system.
    Remedy
    Recalled vehicles will have the EGR solenoids checked for the presence of separate air filters. If theses are not evident new solenoids with separate air filters will be fitted.
