Opel Corsa, Land Rover Defender, Honda Civic Hybrid and Ford C-Max recalls

We had gone some time without publishing the recalls issued by various brands for their most commercial vehicles, recalls that tell us about the different problems certain vehicles tend to have, something very useful if we own one of these vehicles or are simply interested in buying one.

In this way, today I want to make public the recalls issued by mainstream brands known to everyone, such as Opel, Land Rover, Honda and even the multinational Ford, which are now published in the list provided by the Spanish National Consumer Institute.

Opel Corsa D: problems have been detected in the front passenger airbag cover. These problems may cause the dashboard to even come loose when the airbag deploys, which could injure the front passenger. Apparently this defect is present in the most recent models to leave the factory, specifically the 2011 and 2012 units.

Land Rover Defender: certain problems have been detected in the transfer case, through which it could apparently send oil to the brake shoes, meaning the handbrake may not be able to hold the vehicle on inclined surfaces. The affected models are specifically the P022 built between 2007 and 2011.

Honda Civic Hybrid FD3: the problem with the Honda Civic Hybrid FD3 basically lies in a diode in the hybrid system’s charge control unit, which can fail and in turn blow the engine management system fuse. If this fuse blows, the engine stops and cannot be restarted.

Ford Grand C-Max: the seat latches could break if the seats are folded down repeatedly. The risk therefore lies mainly in the seat folding down without the mechanism being operated. The affected vehicles would have left the factory between 1 March 2010 and 14 January 2011.
