The rear track rods may break due to corrosion on Opel Insignia manufactured between December 2007 and July 2013. 571,942 vehicles may be affected, and Car-Recalls.eu reported on this recall in advance in early February in an article Opel recalls over half a million older Insignias for tie rods corrosion.

Two recalls were announced this week by Toyota for ProAce vans. The first is for cars built from June 2016 to May 2017. The rear window defogger may not work properly due to an incorrectly fixed cable. The second is for vehicles made between July 2018 and June 2021. Due to an error in the specific software for calibration of the electronic engine control unit (ECU), an incorrect value is provided when the vehicle processes the data.

Mercedes is recalling the 598 AMG GT Black Series manufactured between October 2019 and December 2021. The length of the wiring harness of the front wheel speed sensors might be inadequate in these cars, and there is a risk of damage to the wiring harness in certain driving manoeuvres such as full steering wheel angle or full compression/rebound of the suspension.

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.
