Renault’s recall for almost 25,000 Megane, Scenic and Talisman models

03/08/2020

Renault has been recalling 24,361 Megane, Scenic, and Talisman models to the workshop worldwide since the end of June.

The reason is a “non-compliant fuel line”, as Martin Zimmermann, Board Member for Communication at Renault Deutschland AG, confirmed to the kfz-rueckrufe.de website.

The problematic vehicles rolled off the production line between 20 September 2018 and 27 May 2019 (Scenic and Talisman from the Douai plant) and 8 November 2018 to 20 June 2019 (Megane from the Palencia factory).

According to the German Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA), the vehicles are at risk of “fuel leakage and fuel smell”. The necessary fuel line replacement should take between 30 and 45 minutes at an authorized service center.

The recall runs under the internal code “0D73”.

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.
