Every Vauxhall Safety Recall In The UK, By Model And Year, With What Each Fault Means And How To Get It Fixed

Vauxhall has 300 UK safety recalls in DVSA records, including 135 since 2020. The most common recent faults involve software, brakes and wheels and tyres. Enter your registration to check your Vauxhall; you won't usually pay for a recall repair at a franchised Vauxhall dealer.¹

The most important recall for Vauxhall owners is R/2025/511, the largest single recall in DVSA's whole file: it replaces the driver's Takata airbag on the Astra H and J, Cascada, Meriva B, Mokka, Signum, Vectra C and Zafira C, covering 949,336 vehicle-records. Many of these cars are now with second or third owners who may not have had the letter, so check the registration of any older Vauxhall today. See Takata airbag recalls. Two other recalls cover large numbers: R/2022/329 for rear toe links on the Insignia A that can corrode (167,237 vehicle-records) and R/2021/063 for a Mokka X brake pedal that could stick in high cabin temperatures. Newer Vauxhalls share Stellantis recalls, including the PureTech fuel pipe and mild hybrid recalls, and in September 2025 a stop-drive brake pedal weld recall for the new Frontera (R/2025/362). Zafira B owners should read our Vauxhall Zafira recall page. Any Vauxhall retailer can check your VIN.
