Each campaign in detail

Module ABS : rappels constructeur
Manufacturer recall
Plusieurs rappels visent les ix35 produits entre 2010 et 2014 : le module du système de freinage antiblocage (ABS) peut développer un court-circuit, car du liquide de frein peut atteindre l'unité de commande, ce qui augmente le risque d'incendie du compartiment moteur (codes 41D091 et 41DC27, alertes européennes A12/03122/24, SR/00813/25 et SR/01452/25). Un rappel d'octobre 2022 concerne les ix35 fabriqués entre juin 2013 et juin 2015.
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).
Single source so far: to be confirmed.
