Opel and Volvo software

Incorrect calibration of the motor control unit can lead to clutch disengagement and loss of drive with 2,329 Opel Corsa vehicles built between 2023 and 2024. With more than 70,000 Volvo EX30s, a software error can cause the display to show a test mode after the vehicle has been started. The remedy is a software update (possibly via remote access via over-the-air (OTA) update).

Ford Kuga fuel leak

The high-pressure fuel injector may rupture in 5,655 Ford Kugas with a three-cylinder petrol engine manufactured between 25 November 2022 and 19 December 2023. Accumulated fuel in the engine, whether liquid or vapour, can get close to a hot surface and ignite.

Details on this week’s Rapex 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.
