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.
