Does a recall affect your Renault Modus?

Not every Renault Modus is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Every Renault Modus recall, newest first

2010 1 recall

Rear bench seat may jam

Launched 20 April 2010 DVSA recall R/2010/038 Manufacturer ref. OB7P

Defect
The rear passengers may not be sufficiently restrained during an accident if the manually adjustable bench seat mechanism jams.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a reinforcement bracket and a cable tie to the seat adjustment mechanism.
Vehicles affected
4,403 Modus vehicles
Built
1 Jan 2008 to 26 Oct 2009

2007 2 recalls

Front head restraint may not retain its position in the event of an impact.

Launched 30 October 2007 DVSA recall R/2007/143

Defect
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the front seat head restraint components may have been incorrectly welded into position in the seat frame. This in certain cases can cause the sleeve to become loose to the seat frame. This has the potential to prevent the front seat head restraints retaining their position in the event of an impact.
Remedy
Recalled vehicles will have the fabrication of the two front seat back frames checked. These will be replaced if found to be necessary.
Vehicles affected
76 Modus vehicles
Built
27 Oct 2004 to 28 Oct 2004

Stop light failure

Launched 13 April 2007 DVSA recall R/2007/044 Manufacturer ref. OAU6

Defect
Under particular circumstances of use the potential exists for the stop light switch to melt due to overheating of the grease in the circuit switches with the potential for coking of the contacts. This can result in failure of the stop lights and overheating at the pedal floor or smoke in the passenger compartment.
Remedy
Recalled vehicles will have the stop light switch replaced.
Vehicles affected
4,234 across everything the recall covers

  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Renault Modus. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
  • Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
  • Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
  • Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
