Reason for the recall:
Due to wrong assembly of the under-wing plastic protectors, the front flexible brake hose could be damaged resulting in a slow brake fluid leak or sudden bursting of the flexible hose. This could lead to long brake pedal travel and loss of braking efficiency.
The recall affects vehicles manufactured from beginning of production (January 2013) until 07/11/2014.

This notification is purely informative for the vehicle type you have selected. As these deficiencies often relate to specific components (engine type, bodywork, equipment), the recall may not apply to all vehicles of this type. For more detailed information on possible recalls for your vehicle, please get in touch with an authorised workshop (see below at "What the owner should do?").
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 a Renault 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.
If you wish to know more about the eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accident damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), in that case, we suggest going to this page.
