Renault has 196 UK safety recalls in DVSA records, including 33 since 2020. The most common recent faults involve fire risk, doors and latches and fuel leaks. Enter your registration to check your Renault; you won't usually pay for a recall repair at a franchised Renault dealer.¹

Renault has one of the lowest recall rates among major brands in the UK, with 1.62 car recalls per 100,000 cars on the road since 2020. The largest recent Renault recall, R/2026/094, updates the injection software on the Arkana, Captur and Clio, covering 52,468 vehicle-records; it is usually a quick dealer visit. Families should know about R/2020/235, which fixed a child lock on the Kadjar that could disengage after being switched on, covering 45,023 vehicle-records; test the rear child locks if you have a Kadjar. In 2025 the Kangoo was recalled for rear door strikers (R/2025/254). Renault vans have their own history, including a 2018 stop-drive recall for the Master's steering column joint, shared with the Nissan NV400 and Vauxhall Movano. Renault shares parts with Dacia and Nissan, so a recall on one can apply to the others. Any Renault dealer can check your VIN.
