A faulty rubber hose can leak fuel into hot parts of the vehicle and cause a fire risk with more than 600 Citroën C5Xs built between February and June 2022. There is also a fire risk with 127 Renault Master vans built in May 2022. In this case, a faulty injection ramp is to blame.

The first recall has been announced for the electric Dacia Spring. The reason is not the electric drive but faulty seat belt retractors on cars with a production date between April 26, 2022, and October 4, 2022. Toyota also reports a possible defect in the seat belt retractors for the 2001-2005 model year RAV4.

Details on this week’s recalls can be found in the table below.

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.
