14 recalls for 11 Renault models in 2019
In 2019, Renault announced 14 recalls involving 11 models through the EU Rapex system. The Renault Trafic was the most recalled model.
We’ve sorted all 2019 recalls according to the model into a table below.
As early as in January 2019, a recall appeared with the Captur, Clio and Kangoo models manufactured between February to April 2018, where the exhaust catalytic converter was not welded correctly. With the Scenic, Talisman and Espace models from the production period of 9/2018 to 6/2019, the NOx sensors may not be properly tightened. There is an increased risk of fire.
Under the mechanical stress, capacitors with the Megane, Kadjar and Scenic models manufactured between September to November 2018 can be damaged and overheated. This could lead to engine cooling fan failure and increased fire risk.
Renault Trafic was recalled twice due to the seat belt problems, once due to the parking brake cable and also for the risk of fuel tank rupture.
Renault also announced three recalls with the Alpine A110 model. The wiring could come into contact with the exhaust manifold, the lock of the front hood may not be sufficiently torqued, and the oil pressure control solenoid valve can be blocked.
We’ve written about some problems in more detail in separate articles.
