Fiat Ducato Recalls In The UK: Every Safety Recall By Year And Build Date, And What To Do

Recall data from DVSA, updated 15 October 2026.

The Fiat Ducato has 36 UK safety recalls in DVSA records, 11 of them since 2020. The most common faults involve brakes and wheels and tyres. Enter your registration to see which apply to your car; you won't usually pay for a recall repair.1

The Fiat Ducato is the base for most UK motorhomes as well as a popular van, so its recalls reach owners who may not think of themselves as Fiat drivers. The largest recent Ducato recall, R/2019/360, refitted a brake line retaining clip that might not be fixed correctly, covering 24,484 vehicle-records; brakes are the most common type of Ducato recall. Earlier recalls fixed an intercooler sleeve that could detach (R/2018/038) and a spare wheel that could fall off (R/2011/098). The latest Ducato (290/295) has its own recalls, including a 2026 fuel pipe leak (R/2026/044) and an instrument cluster software update (R/2025/320). If you own a motorhome on a Ducato, check the base vehicle here by registration and the habitation side with the converter; see motorhome recalls. The Ducato shares many parts with the Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Relay, so their recalls often arrive together.

What You Might Notice

Many recall faults give no warning at all, so a registration check is the only reliable way to know.2 See car recall symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Know If My Ducato Has Been Fixed?

Ask a Fiat dealer or Fiat's helpline for the recall history on your VIN. See how to get a Fiat recall fixed.

Is The Ducato Reliable?

Recalls show faults the maker has agreed to fix, not how often cars break down. Compare models on our compare page.

I'm Buying A Used Ducato. What Should I Check?

Run the registration, ask for proof of completed recalls and confirm by VIN. See buying a used car with an outstanding recall.
