Which Car Is It?
Choose the make and model so we can match recalls to your car.
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.
