Which Car Is It?
Choose the make and model so we can match recalls to your car.
Dacia has one of the lowest recall rates of any major brand in the UK, with 3.23 car recalls per 100,000 cars on the road since 2020, so most Dacia owners will never get a letter. The exceptions are worth knowing. The Dacia Spring, the brand's small electric car, had a stop-drive recall in November 2025 (R/2025/490) over a risk of losing steering, covering 886 cars; if you own a Spring, check it today and don't drive it if the letter says so. The largest recent Dacia recall, R/2020/307, fixed a key that could jam in the start position on the Duster, Logan and Sandero, and R/2021/364 refitted a fuel hose that could leak in the engine bay of the third-generation Sandero. The Jogger had a rear axle bolt recall in 2025 (R/2025/001). Dacia shares many parts with Renault, so a Renault recall can sometimes apply to a Dacia too. Any Dacia dealer can check your VIN.
