Stellantis: Power steering
Unification of parts is taking its toll. A crack in an electric power steering motor can cause the plastic parts to separate from the worm gear in as many as five Stellantis models. The steering blockage may occur in 7,292 DS3 Crossback, Fiat 600, Opel Corsa, Opel Mokka and Peugeot 208 vehicles produced in April and May 2024.
BMW extends recall
In April 2024, BMW announced a recall via Safety Gate for 371,756 2 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, I5, I7, IX1, X1, X5, X6, X7, XM, X5M and X6M vehicles produced between 2022 and 2024. It is expanding to include the 1 Series, iX2, X2, and M5 models at the end of September 2024, bringing the total number of potentially affected vehicles to 1,493,890. The reason for the recall is that the signal fault can lead to the failure of the hydraulic brake assist. ABS and DSC will not be available. This may result in a longer braking distance. The KBA records seven accidents with damage only to the bodywork.
Fire risk in Hyundai vans
The 131,717 Hyundai H1 vans manufactured between 2015 and 2020 may be at risk of damage to the heater hoses in the engine compartment due to the heat generated during the regeneration of the diesel particulate filter, resulting in a risk of fire.
