NHTSA R/2025/344
Date: 18-08-2025
Vehicles may be affected by incorrect performance of the On-Board-Diagnostics related to Selective Catalytic Reduction system and/or Diesel Particle Filter. The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may not illuminate in the event of a malfunction and therefore does not comply with e…
NHTSA R/2012/158
Esp May Not Operate Correctly
Date: 17-12-2012
Some vehicles from the affected production batch may have an issue with the effectiveness of the ESP system caused by non-conformity with the ABS/ESP hydraulic block. Consequences: This non-conformity will not affect the operation of the ABS system or the efficiency of the brakes…
NHTSA R/2016/019
Fuel May Leak If Vehicle Involved In A Rollover Incident
Date: 17-02-2016
On the affected vehicles the non-return valve located inside the fuel tank may not conform to specification. If the vehicle was to roll over there is a risk of a fuel leak.
NHTSA R/2012/080
Bonnet Catch May Not Latch Correctly
Date: 16-07-2012
On a small batch of vehicles the bonnet catch may not be correctly installed. If the bonnet is opened and then closed incorrectly it could result in the latch being insecure.
NHTSA R/2024/176
Date: 16-04-2024
On affected vehicles incorrect MCU (Motor Control Unit) calibration may result in a loss of propulsion while driving.
NHTSA R/2025/148
Date: 14-04-2025
On affected vehicles the Electronic Brake System Module is not according to specification which could potentially lead to light internal leakage of brake fluid.
NHTSA R/2025/069
Date: 14-02-2025
Affected vehicles may experience an autonomous telematic box that cannot connect to the remote server making it not possible to make calls or use other connected services.
NHTSA R/2019/010

Date: 14-01-2019
The universal clamp fixing bolt is not correctly fitted in the recess at the end of the steering column.
NHTSA R/2012/100
Brakes May Fail
Date: 12-09-2012
During production it is possible the brake system may not have been bled correctly and some air may remain in the brake system. This could result in increased brake pedal travel and a possible reduction in braking efficiency.
NHTSA R/2025/210
Date: 11-06-2025
On affected vehicles the Autonomous Telematics Box (ATB) has no connectivity to the Connected Services features and therefore does not comply with regulatory requirements.
NHTSA R/2025/045
Date: 07-02-2025
Affected vehicles may not comply with test requirements in the matter of emissions test execution by competent authorities and energy consumption may be too high.
NHTSA R/2024/485
Date: 06-12-2024
On affected vehicles the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) functionality may not meet regulatory requirements and the Active Emergency Brake (AEB) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA) can inadvertently be deactivated by a long press of the ADAS button on the radio.
NHTSA R/2024/444
Date: 01-11-2024
