Due to an Engine Control Module (ECM) software error, under certain very limited engine start conditions, the ECM may set an incorrect engine throttle valve position. As a result, at engine speeds in excess of 3600 rpm, the vehicle may briefly accelerate unexpectedly.
The recall affects vehicles fitted with 1.2L supercharged petrol engine and manufactured between 25/10/2010 – 27/02/2015.

What the owner should do?
If you read about a recall that you think may affect your car, you should make immediate contact with a dealer or workshop that’s been officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details.
If you wish to know more about eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accidents damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), then we suggest going to HPI-Check.
