2017 Renault KFB Megane wagon: rear axle bolts may loosen

In April 2020, recall campaign 0CBE was issued for Renault KFB Megane wagons that were available for sale in Australia prior 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.
