Recalls: Renault BFB Megane RS
2018-19 Renault BFB Megane RS: oil pressure solenoid valve wiring
In October 2019, recall campaign 0D4W was issued for Renault BFB Megane RS vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 30 August 2018 to 6 May 2019. In these vehicles, the oil pressure solenoid valve wiring was not manufactured to the required specifications and this could lead to engine failure. If the engine failed, the driver may experience a loss of drive, a loss of power steering assistance (and heavier steering), a loss of power braking (such that greater braking effort would be required) and a loss of auxiliaries. These factors increased the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17907.
2016-17 Renault BFB Megane RS: rear axle bolts may loosen
In April 2020, recall campaign 0CBE was issued for Renault BFB Megane RS vehicles 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.
