Which Car Is It?
Choose the make and model so we can match recalls to your car.
Owners of the original Mokka (2012 to 2019) should check first for R/2025/511, Vauxhall's Takata driver's airbag recall, which covers 949,336 vehicle-records across eight models and is the largest single recall in DVSA's file. The Mokka X also had a brake pedal that could stick in high cabin temperatures (R/2021/063, 62,957 vehicle-records). The current Mokka, built by Stellantis since 2020, shares many recalls with Peugeot and Citroën: the DV5R diesel camshaft chain recall (R/2025/245), the 2025 fuel pipe recall (R/2025/282), the 2026 mild hybrid starter-generator cover recall (R/2026/072) and stop/start and stability control software updates (R/2025/416 and R/2025/451). The electric Mokka-e had an air conditioning compressor wiring recall shared with the Corsa-e and Combo-e (R/2023/139). See PureTech recalls and Takata airbag recalls. Any Vauxhall retailer can confirm by VIN.

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.
