Porsche’s upper arm

Using damaged material can lead to the left upper front axle arm breaking with nearly 13,000 Porsche Cayenne SUVs produced in 2024. The left upper front axle arm will be replaced at an authorised workshop.

Brakes on Toyota ProAce City

Loss of hydraulic brake equalisation may result in reduced braking performance with 1,950 ProAce City and ProAce City Verso vehicles built between 2023 and 2024. The electronic engine control unit software will be updated at an authorised workshop.

Possible injuries to Rolls-Royce passengers

Rolls-Royce is recalling 4,949 Ghost limousines built between 2019 and 2022 to authorized service centers worldwide. The reason for the recall is the possibility of dashboard glass shattering in certain side impacts, with shards potentially injuring passengers.

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.
