Opel recalls over half a million older Insignias for tie rods corrosion

08/02/2022

Worldwide, 571,942 Opel Insignia A vehicles have to go to the workshop.

The reason for the recall is that the rear tie rods of these vehicles can break due to corrosion. As a result, the driving stability is limited. Affected vehicles were manufactured between 8 December 2007 and 26 July 2013.
