This can deteriorate the combustion engine, resulting in a rupture in the engine oil tank or engine block, creating an oil tank leak. This…
26 Jan 2024 Passenger car Risk: Injuries. Ref A12/00141/24. The engine control unit does not correctly detect overheating, which can allow the engine to overheat, leading to a leak of engine oil. Leaking oil can drop onto the road and create a risk of injuries to other road traffic participants. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the…
1 Oct 2021 Passenger car Risk: Fire. Ref A12/01371/21. Localised overheating of the engine cylinder head can occur due to the engine not containing sufficient coolant.

18 Sept 2020 Passenger car Risk: Injuries. Ref A12/01240/20. The ammonium nitrate propellant used in the airbag inflator may experience a material alteration over time due to degradation occurring after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures and high-temperature cycling. In the event of an airbag being deployed, it may underinflate…
27 Mar 2020 Passenger car Risk: Injuries. Ref A12/00466/20. The electronic steering column lock (ESCL) can be activated unexpectedly.This will result in the disabled steering function, increasing the risk of an accident.

16 Aug 2019 Passenger car Risk: Fire. Ref A12/1222/19. Potential leakage of battery acid around the battery negative terminal could cause the battery monitoring sensor to fail. Over time growth of copper sulphate may accumulate. This, in turn, could provide a conductive layer underneath the Battery Monitoring Sensor, creating a low resistance to…
11 Jan 2019 Passenger car Risk: Injuries. Ref A12/0028/19. The clutch pressure plate may break. This may result in reduced vehicle performance.
21 Sept 2018 Passenger Car Risk: Injuries. Ref A12/1331/18. The air conditioning clutch pulley plate could become loose. This plate could therefore detach and fall onto the road surface, posing a risk of accident.

How this compares

Each register is compared on its own with the 60 models we publish an EU recall page for; the registers are never combined into one score. Its 15 EU Safety Gate campaigns are fewer than the median of 17 for this set. Its 24 KBA campaigns are fewer than the median of 34. Its RDW open-recall share is more than the 5.7% median.

Counts across sources are not comparable to each other and are never summed: a Safety Gate alert and a KBA campaign can describe the same defect or different ones. Treat each as one advisory pointer.

Confirm the recall status of the actual car

Match the campaign’s production dates to the car, then ask the manufacturer or an authorised dealer to check its VIN and confirm whether the repair is complete. A model-level list cannot establish that.
