    Manufacturer recall

    Car Verif cite une campagne sur le refroidisseur EGR de certains diesels construits jusqu'au 26 février 2018 (rappel britannique 0011020700) : une fuite de glycol peut entraîner perte de puissance et risque d'incendie. L'éligibilité se vérifie avec le numéro de série.

    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).
