Volkswagen Group Ireland Limited recalls certain Audi A4, A6, A8 and TT passenger vehicles 

2 October 2023

Volkswagen Group Ireland Limited (Audi Ireland) is carrying out a voluntary recall of certain Audi A4, A6, A8 and TT passenger vehicles.

A safety issue has been identified whereby driver-airbag gas generators from the original manufacturer Takata (‘NADI’ (non-azide driver inflator) generators) produced during 1997-1999 may be faulty. Internal investigations have shown that in the event of an accident the restraining effect of the deployed driver airbag might not always be fully guaranteed. Compliance with the statutory requirements in force for protection by an airbag in the event of an accident is thus not ensured.

Motor Distributors Limited (Mercedes-Benz) recalls certain SL-Class model vehicles.

27 October 2023

Motor Distributors Limited (Mercedes-Benz) is carrying out a voluntary recall on certain SL-Class vehicles.

A safety issue has been identified whereby in certain vehicles of the SL series (type R 232) with an M177 engine, the installation of the 12V starter/generator wiring harnesses may not meet the specifications. In the cases in question, the wiring harness could be in contact with the drive shaft, causing abrasion over time. As a result, the possibility of a short circuit cannot be ruled out leading to a sudden unexpected loss of propulsion. This could increase the accident risk.

6 September 2023

Motor Distributors Limited (Mercedes-Benz) is carrying out a voluntary recall on certain S-Class vehicles.

A safety issue has been identified whereby the screw connection in the fuse box of the engine compartment could not meet the specifications. This could increase the electrical transition resistance at that connection. Consequently, an increase in temperature and therefore a risk of fire cannot be completely ruled out. In the event of an open circuit, the vehicle could lose propulsion when being driven. This would increase the risk of accident and injury, and the legal requirements would not be met. Furthermore, an impact on the exhaust emissions cannot be ruled out.

There are 28 vehicles affected in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 15 April 2020 and 14 October 2022.

Motor Distributors Limited (Mercedes-Benz) recalls certain C-Class vehicles.

1 August 2023

A safety issue has been identified whereby in certain C-Class vehicles (BR 206) the screw connections on certain 12V and 48V ground points may have been secured with insufficient torque. In this case the wiring harness may not be properly secured and as a result the electrical resistance of the connection could increase. The temperature may therefore rise in this area, so the risk of fire cannot be completely ruled out. In addition, the electric powertrain could become deactivated in plug-in hybrid variants, whereby the impact this could have on exhaust emissions and electric range cannot be ruled out.

There are 39 vehicles affected in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 30 June 2021 and 6 June 2023.

Motor Distributors Limited (Mercedes-Benz) recalls certain C-Class vehicles.

23 May 2023

A safety issue has been identified whereby in certain C-Class vehicles (BR 206) equipped with 4-cylinder diesel engines, the adhesion force of the fuel supply line may not meet the specifications. This means that the fuel supply line could slip from its connection despite being correctly locked into position. As a result, fuel could leak, and the pressure in the fuel supply line could fall. This could lead to misfires or even the sudden shutdown of the engine while driving. Furthermore, leaking fuel could pose a risk to following traffic, and the legal framework conditions might not be met.

There are 129 vehicles affected in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 8 October 2020 and 12 September 2022.

Motor Distributors Limited (Mercedes-Benz) recalls certain Sprinter vehicles

Consequently, a short-circuit fire cannot be ruled out. Furthermore, the automatic emergency call (eCall) could fail, the vehicle could fail to unlock and/or start, and the engine emergency operation mode could also be activated during driving. This would increase the risk of injury and accident.

The leak could worsen over time. Depending on the volume of fuel leaking out, the risk of accident for following traffic could also increase. Local legal requirements might not be complied with. The risk of fire can be ruled out as there are no hot components close to the drainage pipe or in areas where leaking fuel could possibly collect.

There are 325 vehicles affected in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 2 July 2020 and 27 April 2022.

Toyota Ireland recalls certain Toyota BZ4X model vehicles

22 November 2023

Toyota Ireland is carrying out a voluntary recall of certain Toyota BZ4X vehicles.

The subject vehicles are equipped with a combination meter system containing an electronic control unit (ECU), where various information is displayed (warning and indicator lights, vehicle gauges, messages, etc.) in a multi-information display, and a DCM (Data Communication Module). The DCM communicates with the meter ECU to check vehicle status within a certain amount of time after the power switch is turned off. If the communication between the DCM and the meter ECU occurs at the time the meter ECU executes a certain process, the meter ECU may not complete that process. If this occurs, the display will become blank after a new key cycle and will not display certain telltales and indicators. Because the meter ECU also interfaces with other functions, such as turn signal lamps, hazard lights and the Pre-Collision System, those functions will be deactivated. As a result, the vehicle may not meet certain requirements of European regulations. Driving without these functions may result in an increased risk of a crash in certain driving conditions.

There are 1275 affected vehicles in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 2nd November 2021 to 7th August 2023.

Toyota Ireland recalls certain Toyota Highlander model vehicles

22 November 2023

If there is minor impact to the lower front bumper cover during normal vehicle operation, some of the mounting tabs could detach, and the retention force of the remaining attachment points may become compromised. In this condition, the lower bumper cover, the engine under cover, and the fender liners may detach from the vehicle while driving, which could become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash or injury for other road users.

There are 178 affected vehicles in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 6th December 2019 to 29th August 2023.

A safety issue has been identified whereby The subject vehicles are equipped with a DCM (Data Communication Module) designed by a specific supplier. In addition to other data related services, this DCM supports an emergency calling system (eCall), which enables emergency calls to be made manually, or in the event of certain severe crashes, automatically. Due to the software programming for the DCM memory capacity, there is a possibility that the DCM may not complete the shutdown process within a specific period of time when the ignition is turned off, causing the DCM to not restart at the next ignition cycle and making the eCall function unavailable. If this condition occurs, there is no warning to the vehicle occupant that the in-vehicle system cannot place an emergency call. As a result, the vehicles do not comply with EU regulation 2015/758.

There are 2684 affected vehicles in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 9 October 2020 and 4 August 2023.

If the accelerator pedal is rapidly pressed to further accelerate the vehicle after it has been continuously driven in “EV mode” in cold temperature and the HV battery voltage decreases, the voltage may drop rapidly below a specified threshold. If this occurs, the vehicle will display a warning message and the hybrid system will shut down, resulting in loss of motive power.

When a vehicle part(s) is found to be dangerous or defective during use, the manufacturer must recall the vehicle to fix the issue.

AMSA is notified of vehicles which are subject to recall through an EU portal called Rapid Exchange of Information System (RAPEX).

Once the manufacturer has been made aware of the recall issue, they must immediately inform the approval authority and agree a course of action with them to repair the fault(s). The NSAI will be involved with a recall if they were the approval authority that issued the approval in the first instance.

The manufacturer must immediately inform the approval authority who granted approval to the vehicle concerned and propose appropriate remedies. The approval authority must then communicate the proposed measures to all other member states without delay. Note that the approval authority may withdraw an EC vehicle type-approval if the manufacturer does not propose and implement effective remedies.

In addition to the tests for approval, there are many more tests carried out on a vehicle during its design and production.

These are carried out by the vehicle manufacturer. Extensive testing ensures that a vehicle will meet legal requirements and also perform adequately during its useful life.

While a vehicle component may have passed tests to ensure that it performs adequately during its life, it may still fail during use. This is because vehicle testing has difficulty in replicating exactly how a component will behave after many hours of driving or under unexpected or unlikely circumstances.

The recall system ensures that problems encountered during driving are acted on by the manufacturer.

Vehicle recalls dating from 2011 to 2022 are located in this archive.

If you are concerned that your vehicle was subject to a recall and you missed it, you should contact the manufacturer or authorised distributor.

In the case of a second-hand vehicle which was subject to a recall, the previous owner may have had the vehicle checked. Documentation showing this should be with the owner’s manual or vehicle documentation in the storage compartment. You can also check with the authorised distributor quoting the vehicle identification number (VIN).

The manufacturer will endeavour to contact all owners of affected vehicles. They will engage with the Driver and Vehicle Computer Services Division (DVCSD) in order to attain the contact details of registered owners. Therefore, it is important that the details recorded on the National Vehicle and Driver File (NVDF), particularly your ownership details are always up to date. If you wish to amend these, you can email them at [email protected] 

Once you have been contacted it is your responsibility to bring the affected vehicle to the nearest dealership for repairs and or adjustments. If this is a safety critical recall it should be done immediately.

No.

No. The NCT is not responsible for policing vehicle recall issues. If you have safety concerns over a vehicle recall issue, we recommend you contact the original manufacturer or authorised distributor. The NCT is a check test that the vehicle meets the minimum roadworthiness requirements without any dismantling of the vehicle and that parts required to be tested, where visible and accessible, meet a basic standard on the day of the test. The NCT is not and cannot be deemed a warranty.

A vehicle may have been launched on the Irish market after the recall issue was rectified or the recall campaign did not concern any vehicle registered in Ireland. If you feel your vehicle may be subject to a recall campaign, please contact the manufacturer. If you have any queries in relation to recalls, contact us in the RSA at [email protected]
