Each campaign in detail

  1. Siège conducteur qui se déverrouille (rappel OB5X)

    Manufacturer recall

    Le piston retenant le ressort de verrouillage du siège sur ses glissières peut sauter : le siège coulisse alors librement à l'arrêt ou en roulant, avec des conséquences possibles au freinage ou en accélération vive. Le rappel concerne 41 884 voitures en France, sorties de l'usine de Novo Mesto entre le 1er septembre 2008 et le 28 février 2009 (hors véhicules de société). Demandez la preuve de l'intervention.

    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).

    Manufacturer recall

    Pour les voitures sorties d'usine entre le 17 septembre et le 30 novembre 2010 avec le moteur 1.2 16v ou 1.2 TCe, Caradisiac signale un risque de casse moteur à cause d'un défaut des demi-cônes de soupape : contrôle et remplacement éventuel. CarVerif confirme ce rappel, qui ne touche pas le 1.5 dCi.

    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).
