Most Dacia Sandero recalls involve older cars, and the numbers are small compared with how many Sanderos are on UK roads. The largest, R/2018/144, fixed a risk of a fuel leak on the Logan and Sandero, covering 15,168 vehicle-records, and earlier recalls dealt with driver's airbags that might not deploy correctly (R/2018/371 and R/2016/304) and a 2016 steering recall (R/2016/007). If you own a first or second-generation Sandero, check the registration, because those cars are now often with later owners who may have missed the letter. The current third-generation Sandero has had one notable recall so far: R/2021/364 refitted a fuel supply hose in the engine bay that could leak. Fuel leaks carry a fire risk, so book that one promptly if your car is included; see fuel leak recalls. Any Dacia dealer can check your VIN.
