    Manufacturer recall

    Selon CarVerif, RappelConso a publié en 2026 une fiche couvrant des Astra J par plages de numéro de série (VIN), pour un risque lié au gonfleur d'airbag. La seule méthode fiable est de faire vérifier le numéro de série par un concessionnaire.

    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).
