Brake problems

A total of 3,390 Ferrari Purosangue vehicles built between December 2021 and February 2025 are being recalled by Ferrari. This is due to potential contact between the positive pole of the fuse box power supply and the passenger side footrest bracket. This could result in a short circuit in the fuse box and reduced braking performance. Another luxury car manufacturer, Aston Martin, is recalling “just” under 600 Vanquish coupes built between August 2024 and June 2025. In this case, the issue is a brake booster that may not be functioning properly. Needless to say, with cars this fast, any hesitation in braking can literally be fatal.

Watch your head

Owners of Renault Kangoos from 2020 to 2025 should be careful when loading or unloading. This is because the rear tailgate latches protrude so much when open that they can come into contact with their head, causing unnecessary pain and profanity.

Fire risk

Hyundai i10s built in October 2024 may have a poorly made fuel tank which could leak and potentially catch fire. The 681 owners of these vehicles should visit their nearest Hyundai dealership to have the tank replaced.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?

Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact an dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
