Henry Ford & Son Limited is carrying out a voluntary recall of certain Ford Kuga model vehicles.

A safety issue has been identified whereby fires under the bonnet have occurred in a number of vehicles, caused by a specific type of engine damage. If a piston rod falls out, it may rupture the engine block and cause an oil leakage. Due to insufficient air flow through the engine compartment, this oil can stay trapped in the lower engine guard. In certain circumstances, this trapped oil may cause a fire due to its proximity to the catalytic converter of the exhaust system. Action: The front lower engine guard is being altered, with the creation of additional exhaust air holes. The active grill shutter (AGS) system is being altered, with the removal of four ribs. These modifications to the vehicle significantly increase air flow and prevent oil from accumulating in the lower underbody protection in the event of a rupture in the engine block.

A safety issue has been identified whereby the subject vehicles are equipped with a front-view and/or a rearview camera used to capture and display an image of the area in front of and/or behind the vehicle. Due to insufficient laser welding of the camera case at the supplier during a specific production period, there is a possibility that the camera case may separate when exposed to external stress over time, allowing water to leak into the camera.

Lexus Ireland recalls certain Lexus RX300 vehicles

Lexus Ireland is carrying out a voluntary recall of certain Lexus RX300 model vehicles. 

A safety issue has been identified whereby subject vehicles are equipped with a high-pressure fuel pump. The fuel pump has a plunger that moves down in a cylinder to create a vacuum which brings in fuel through a fuel inlet control valve and up in the cylinder to create pressure which sends fuel to the engine through the check valve. Due to insufficient press fitting of certain parts in the high-pressure fuel pump, operation over time may cause (1) the cylinder to move and create wear between the cylinder and pump body resulting in increased stress to both aforementioned valves; and/or (2) the valve seat to move within the pump body resulting in valve seat wear and increased stress to the inlet control valve. This increased stress can cause a crack to develop at the weld for the affected valve(s), which could lead to a fuel leak and potential fuel odor. In the presence of an ignition source, a fuel leak can result in an increased risk of a fire.

Toyota Ireland recalls certain Toyota Highlander model vehicles

31 October 2024

Toyota Ireland is carrying out a voluntary recall of certain Toyota Highlander vehicles.

A safety issue has been identified whereby the subject vehicles are equipped with second row 60/40 split, fold down configuration bench seats which are constructed with a seat frame containing a seat-back mid-bar. Certain points on the ends of the 40% side of the seat-back mid-bar may not have been manufactured with a minimum radius meeting the requirements of UN ECE R.21. The mid-bar (including the ends) is covered by foam. However, if a crash occurs while the 60% or 40% seat is stowed and the other seat is not, it is possible that a vehicle rear occupant could contact this seat-back frame mid-bar manufactured with the incorrect end radius that is underneath the foam. If such situation occurs, there may be an increased risk of injury to the rear occupants.

There are 183 affected vehicles in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 06 December 2019 to 12 January 2024.

Toyota Ireland recalls certain BZ4X, Corolla Cross model vehicles

17 June 2024

Toyota Ireland is carrying out a voluntary recall of certain BZ4x, Corolla Cross model vehicles

A safety issue has been identified whereby the subject vehicles are equipped with a front-view and/or a rearview camera used to capture and display an image of the area in front of and/or behind the vehicle. Due to insufficient laser welding of the camera case at the supplier during a specific production period, there is a possibility that the camera case may separate when exposed to external stress over time, allowing water to leak into the camera. If this occurs, the circuit inside the camera can short, leading to an inability to display an image of the area in front of and/or behind the vehicle.

There are 581 affected vehicles in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 10 March 2023 and 11 July 2023.

A safety issue has been identified whereby the subject vehicles are equipped with a Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) 3.0 system or Lexus Safety System Plus (LSS +) 3.0, containing a forward recognition camera to detect objects for certain driver assistance features, including the Pre-Collision System (PCS). Due to the programming of the forward recognition camera software, there is a possibility that the memory inside the forward recognition camera could fail during processing when the ignition is turned OFF. If this occurs, the PCS will not activate on the next ignition start, causing warning lights to illuminate, audible chimes to sound, and messages to display on the instrument panel.

There are 3,797 affected vehicles in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between:

17 April 2024

Toyota Ireland is carrying out a voluntary recall of certain Prius vehicles.

A safety issue has been identified whereby the subject vehicles are equipped with an electric rear door lock system which includes a door opener switch and a rear door lock release actuator to release the latch from outside of the vehicle. Due to insufficient waterproofing of the door opener switch, if a large amount of water splashes on the switch (for example, at a car wash), there is a possibility that the water could enter the switch and cause a short circuit. If the door is not locked, the short circuit could cause the door to open unexpectedly. If this occurs, there will be a notification on the combination meter, and a buzzer will sound if the vehicle is in motion. A door opening while the vehicle is moving or during a crash could increase the risk of injury to occupants.

Toyota Ireland recalls certain CHR, Corolla, Auris passenger vehicles

30 January 2024

Toyota Ireland is carrying out a voluntary recall of certain CHR, Corolla, Auris vehicles.

A safety issue has been identified whereby the subject vehicles are equipped with a high-pressure fuel pump. The fuel pump has a plunger that moves down in a cylinder to create a vacuum which brings in fuel through a fuel inlet control valve and up in the cylinder to create pressure which sends fuel to the engine through the check valve. Due to insufficient press fitting of certain parts in the high-pressure fuel pump, operation over time may cause (1) the cylinder to move and create wear between the cylinder and pump body resulting in increased stress to both aforementioned valves; and/or (2) the valve seat to move within the pump body resulting in valve seat wear and increased stress to the inlet control valve. This increased stress can cause a crack to develop at the weld for the affected valve(s), which could lead to a fuel leak and potential fuel odor. In the presence of an ignition source, a fuel leak can result in an increased risk of a fire.

There are 571 affected vehicles in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between:

Auris: 6 November 2017 and 30 November 2018

CHR: 27 November 2017 and 4 February 2022

Danfay Limited recalls certain Yamaha engine protection components

30 July 2024

Danfay  Limited is carrying out a voluntary recall on certain Yamaha engine protection components

A safety issue has been identified whereby the part in question is a protector which can be fitted to protect against damage caused by a fall. Unfortunately, due to the shape of the protector, the foot brake lever lies on the protector when pressed and therefore cannot be sufficiently activated. The brake pedal is impaired, which in the worst-case scenario could lead to an increased risk of accident and injury.

There are 4 units affected in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 1 June 2014 and 30 March 2023.

In addition to the tests for approval, there are many more tests carried out on a vehicle during its design and production.

These are carried out by the vehicle manufacturer. Extensive testing ensures that a vehicle will meet legal requirements and also perform adequately during its useful life.

While a vehicle component may have passed tests to ensure that it performs adequately during its life, it may still fail during use. This is because vehicle testing has difficulty in replicating exactly how a component will behave after many hours of driving or under unexpected or unlikely circumstances.

The recall system ensures that problems encountered during driving are acted on by the manufacturer.

If you are concerned that your vehicle was subject to a recall and you missed it, you should contact the manufacturer or authorised distributor.

In the case of a second-hand vehicle which was subject to a recall, the previous owner may have had the vehicle checked. Documentation showing this should be with the owner’s manual or vehicle documentation in the storage compartment. You can also check with the authorised distributor quoting the vehicle identification number (VIN).
