Turn signals with Volvo and reversing lights with Fiat

Volvo is recalling over 100,000 2024 model year XC40 SUVs that may not have a working left rear turn signal. The reversing lights, sensors and camera may fail on nearly 25,000 Fiat 500, Panda and Tipo vehicles built in 2023.

Steering problems with Stellantis vans

Last week, we wrote about a recall for around 50,000 2023 Citroën Jumper, Fiat Ducato, Opel Movano and Peugeot Boxer vans. A faulty high-pressure line in the hydraulic power steering can lead to its failure or a fire. The recalls have appeared in both the KBA and Safety Gate databases in the past period, with Citroen and Peugeot vans added this week.

Details on this week’s Rapex recalls can be found in the table below.

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.
