18 recalls for 8 Opel models in 2019

In 2019, Opel announced 18 recalls involving 8 models through the EU Rapex system. The Opel Crossland X had the most recalls (4).

We’ve sorted all 2019 recalls according to the model into a table below.

Several Opel models were recalled in 2019 due to brake problems. With the 2016-2018 Model year Astra, the brake master cylinder might get contaminated by the clutch cylinder seal particles. This may cause no pressure in the brake system and a reduction in braking power where the brake pedal is applied slowly and constantly. Similar to the 2018 model year Insignia, where a defective sealing may cause an internal leakage on the brake master cylinder. Both Combo and Vivaro vans may have problems with the handbrake.

Tip: Check the vehicle’s history by VIN

The Combo, Crossland X and Grandland X equipped with the diesel engines may have higher particulate emissions than specified.

The Astra and Insignia models manufactured in July and August 2019 may have the cross member of the front seat structure welded incorrectly, while with the 2019 Model year Crossland X, the rear axle bolts may be defective and could break.

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