2016-17 Renault BFB Megane hatch: rear axle bolts may loosen
In April 2020, recall campaign 0CBE was issued for Renault BFB Megane hatchbacks that were available for sale in Australia from 1 April 2016 to 31 January 2017. In these vehicles, the rear axle bolts may not have been tightened in accordance with specifications. If the rear axle became loose, the roadholding of the vehicle may deteriorate and this increased the risk of a collision. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2020/18222.
2016 Renault BFB Megane hatch: child safety door instructions
In October 2020, recall campaign 0CKA was issued for Renault BFB Megane hatch vehicles that were produced between 16 April 2016 and 11 October 2016. In these vehicles, the owner’s manual had an error which may cause the user to wrongly operate the child safety feature on the rear door. If the child safety feature was not activated correctly, the rear door could be opened from the inside by a child in the back seat – this posed a risk to the safety of vehicle occupants. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2020/18594.
