In 2019, Dacia announced six recalls involving five models through the EU Rapex system. The Logan (5) and Sandero (4) were the most recalled models.

An incorrectly welded exhaust catalytic converter may have the Logan, Logan MCV, Sandero, Dokker and Lodgy models manufactured in March and April 2018. Another smaller-scale Dacia recalls for several models (Duster, Logan, Logan MCV, Sandero) was announced due to an incorrectly welded positive terminal of the 12-volt battery with vehicles manufactured in mid-June 2018.

Tip: Check your car by VIN

In 2019, Dacia also recalled twice for a defect in the driver’s airbag. Possible loss of vehicle control due to an insufficient tightening torque of the lower steering column fixing bracket screws were reported with the Logan II MCV from the start of production until 5 February 2019.

We’ve written about some problems in more detail in separate articles.

How can you check the recalls by VIN?

Even if you don’t see your car in the table below, it doesn’t mean it was not the subject of a recall sometime in the past. The best way to verify whether a particular car is affected by some recall is to contact a Dacia Authorized Service and ask for the VIN code to be checked not only for recalls but also for various Service bulletins.

It will only cost you your time because such information is provided for free. Free of charge are usually also all the repairs that are related to the recall. It doesn’t matter whether you are the first, second or even third owner. It doesn’t even matter whether you have been to Dacia authorized service regularly, occasionally or never before.

What is a VIN code?
The VIN code is a unique identification number that is embossed on the body of the car and shown on the ID card. In some cars, it can also be found in the frame under the windscreen. It is made up of a unique combination of 17 letters and numbers.
