Each campaign in detail

  1. Rappel : boulon du servo-frein

    Manufacturer recall

    Le boulon de l'arbre d'entrée entre le servo-frein électromécanique et la pédale peut se détacher, ce qui supprime la liaison mécanique et accroît le risque d'accident (frein de stationnement électronique en secours). Rappel de septembre 2021 pour les voitures fabriquées entre août 2020 et juillet 2021 (production du 24/08/2020 au 19/07/2021 selon CarVerif).

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
