Pesquisava por tópicos de recolha de automóveis por parte dos construtores, e claro, está tudo fragmentado por modelos.

Podemos começar a reunir num tópico apenas as notícias de "recalls".
Todas as semanas se lêem notícias do género, fica aqui um espaço para as reunir.

E começo com a última que li.
A envolver Volkswagen e Chrysler nos EUA.

in es.autoblog
Hoy tenemos un 2x1 colosal. Los grupos Chrysler y Volkswagen han emitido sendos avisos de revisión para EEUU para solucionar dos graves defectos de fábrica, que afectan en ambos casos a más de 300.000 vehículos.

En el caso de Volkswagen, 266.936 Jetta, Jetta SportWagen, Golf y Rabbit 2007-2009 presentan riesgo de incendio, dado que una pieza de plástico del depósito del limpiaparabrisas podría rozar con un manguito del combustible hasta desgastarlo. Adicionalmente, 110.350 New Beetle (versiones de techo fijo y descapotable) fueron montados con una abrazadera en el sistema hidráulico de la dirección asistida que también podría hacer contacto con uno de los conductos del combustible.

El caso de Chrysler es completamente distinto, aunque no por ello menos grave. 367.350 Town & Country (Grand Voyager en otros países) y Dodge Grand Caravan 2008 deberán ser revisados porque sus airbags corren el riesgo de dispararse accidentalmente. La causa es bastante curiosa, y radica en el aire acondicionado; unas piezas inadecuadas estarían generando casos excesivos de condensación, que no sólo encharcarían las alfombrillas, sino que incluso podrían llegar a dañar los módulos de los airbags. El problema salió a la luz cuando Chrysler investigó varios casos de airbags activados sin motivo aparente.

Desconocemos por ahora si estas llamadas a revisión tendrán efecto sobre automóviles comercializados fuera de Estados Unidos.

Recall de 1 350 000 unidades do Honda Jazz

in Reuters
* Fits to be recalled for defective wiring in headlights

* Recall in Japan of 735,000 Fits to cost 3.6 bln yen-Honda

* Europe recalls at 385,000 units, U.S. at 143,000 units (Adds overseas recalls)

TOKYO, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Honda Motor Co (7267.T) said on Thursday it would recall about 1.35 million Fit subcompacts globally to repair defective wiring in the headlights.

No accident was reported from the defect, a Honda spokesman in Tokyo said.

Subject to the recall are Fit cars built at Honda's Suzuka factory in Japan between November 2001 and October 2007. About 735,000 units will be recalled in Japan, where the Fit is the second most popular car behind Toyota Motor Corp's (7203.T) Prius, excluding 660cc minivehicles.

Honda will also recall 143,000 Fits exported to the United States, and 385,000 units in Europe, where the model is called the Jazz. The car will also be recalled in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

In Japan, the recall will cost about 3.6 billion yen ($43 million) and will have negligible impact on Honda's earnings, the spokesman said.

Bom tópico! apr:)

Por acaso já tinha pensado também num tópico deste género, em que se possa listar todos os recalls conhecidos à medida que vão saindo.

Já agora, uma sugestão: começar desde o início (logo no post # 1) por fazer um índice das marcas que por aqui vão passando, com a indicação da página ou post em que surge a notícia pela primeira vez. [;)]
 
Uma vez vi no fórum um endereço com os recalls de todas as marcas, mas não faço ideia onde isso anda... Era interessante, só temos noção de um ou outro recall mas as marcas fazem às dezenas!
 
É só para ser os mais recentes? Este ano já houve dois da Toyota, por causa do pedal e outro qualquer.[;)]
 
Opel Movano, Renault Master

No, no has tenido un déjà vu. Aunque el Opel Movano ya estuvo en esta misma sección el sábado pasado, esta semana regresa con un nuevo aviso de llamada a talleres para solucionar un problema potencialmente grave. Según se comunica a través de la red de alertas de la Unión Europea, existe el riesgo de que la mangueta izquierda del eje trasero se desprenda del buje, con las consecuencias previsibles. Este mismo defecto ya apareció el mes pasado en el Renault Master, hermano gemelo del Movano.

De acuerdo a la descripción, este problema sólo se ha detectado en modelos 2010 con tracción delantera. Opel debería ponerse en contacto con los propietarios para informarles de la campaña de servicio.

-Fiat 500, Panda, Panda Van y Abarth 500: Es posible que dos chaveteros usados para anclar la horquilla superior de la junta cardánica de la dirección no hayan sido instalados, pudiendo afectar negativamente al control del vehículo. Esta llamada a revisión no debería confundirse con la comunicada en el mes de julio, también por culpa de un fallo en la dirección. Fiat se pondrá en contacto con los propietarios de los coches afectados.

-Renault Trafic y Opel Vivaro: "Debido a una fijación insuficiente del tapón del extremo del cable que sujeta el cable a la palanca del freno de mano se ha detectado la posibilidad de que el cable delantero se pudiera soltar". El comunicado emitido por el INC sólo señala que los Opel son modelos 2010-2011, mientras que el de la UE indica que los Renault fueron montados entre el 19 de mayo y el 23 de agosto de 2010.

-Mazda5: "Es posible que el agua que pueda caer al vehículo no se elimine completamente del conector del cableado de la bomba de combustible. Como resultado, la clavija del conector podría oxidare y romperse. Este fallo haría que la bomba de combustible dejara de funcionar, calando el motor y haciendo imposible arrancarlo nuevamente". Según el INC, este fallo podría afectar a vehículos fabricados entre el 29-6-09 y el 28-4-10. Mazda ya tiene en sus manos la campaña de servicio.

Excelente tópico... assim está tudo junto e basta ao pessoal ir passando por aqui.

E é mais dificil passarem em claro erros e recalls feitos e que podem por em perigo a segurança de todos nós.
 
Não é propriamente um recall de um modelo, mas fica a info geral sobre o tema, focado apenas nos EUA.

in Detroit News
Auto recalls spike in 2010
Toyota's woes, tighter fed scrutiny drive numbers up
David Shepardson / Detroit News Washington Bureau
Washington —

Automakers, led by battered Toyota Motor Corp., recalled more than 19 million vehicles in about 600 U.S. recall campaigns this year — the most since 2004.

Of the six automakers selling the most cars in the United States, only Ford Motor Co. recorded a decline in the number of vehicles compared with 2009, according to figures tallied by The Detroit News through Tuesday.

The government will release final numbers next month.
In addition to the massive Toyota recalls, this year's spike reflects a growing number of complaints from consumers, increased scrutiny from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and a "better safe than sorry" stance from automakers eager to move faster to minimize bad publicity.

Toyota has recalled 7 million vehicles in 18 campaigns this year. Both are records for the Japanese automaker, whose image was stung by the safety questions they raised. Prior to 2010, Toyota's worst year for recalls was 2009, when it called back 4.8 million vehicles in nine campaigns.

"We're moving more quickly," said Toyota spokesman Brian Lyons, explaining the company's push to quickly address safety issues and recall vehicles when necessary.

But Lyons said it's important to put the numbers in context.
"Some of Toyota's biggest competitors have had twice as many recalls as we have over the past five years," he said. "Toyota has had the lowest number of recalls of any major manufacturer over the past 10 years."

After calling back 4.5 million vehicles in eight 2009 recall campaigns, Dearborn-based Ford recalled about 570,000 vehicles innine campaigns in the past 12 months.

Ford's numbers were higher in 2009 than this year, largely because it recalled 4.5 million vehicles for faulty cruise control deactivation switches, including 1.7 million 1995-2003 Ford Windstars. The automaker recalled about 14 million vehicles in eight separate recalls over a 10-year period to address the issue.
Ford isn't gloating about this year's recall decline.

"The quantity of recalls is not something we pay a whole lot of attention to," said Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood. "Whenever we're looking at safety issues, first and foremost we're committed to our customers."
Ford's crosstown rival, General Motors Co., which had 16 recalls covering 2.2 million vehicles in 2009, reported 21 recalls covering 4 million vehicles this year.

Aiming for zero
"The only satisfactory number of recalls is zero, but the important thing is that we identify and correct any problems quickly and completely with as little inconvenience to customers as possible," said Dan Nicholson, GM vice president of global quality.

Auburn Hills-based Chrysler Group LLC had 15 campaigns covering 589,000 vehicles in 2009, and this year called back 1.5 million vehicles in 13 campaigns.
"We have been one of the lowest recall rate companies as a percent of our vehicles on the road for the last several years and expect to continue that performance going forward," said Doug Betts, senior vice president, quality, at Chrysler.

Ups, downs of recalls
Since 1966, automakers have recalled more than 470 million vehicles. The number of recalls has bounced around in recent years.

In 2004, the auto industry recalled a record 30.8 million vehicles in 600 campaigns. The record-setting pace was led by Detroit's Big Three.
GM recalled 4 million pickups in 2004 for tailgate cables that could corrode — one of the 10 largest recalls of all time — and called back10.8 million vehicles in all of the year — the most of any automaker.
Then-DaimlerChrysler recalled 5.8 million vehicles, while Ford Motor Co. recalled 5 million vehicles.

By 2008, recalls fell to 10.5 million in 684 campaigns, as automakers tried to fix problems earlier in the model year. That was the lowest number since 1994.
The landscape for recalls changed in late August 2009, when an off-duty California Highway Patrol officer and three passengers died when a floor mat became trapped in the accelerator pedal of his loaner Lexus, and the out-of-control car crashed.

In the aftermath, Toyota recalled 5.6 million vehicles for that issue. It also recalled 2.3 million vehicles for sticky accelerator pedals — a move that forced it to temporarily stop selling eight models.

Toyota was fined $16.4 million by NHTSA for delaying the sticky pedal recall in April, and last week agreed to pay $32.4 million after NHTSA said the automaker delayed the pedal entrapment and a 2005 steering rod recalls.
NHTSA more aggressive

NHTSA, which was harshly criticized by Congress early in the year for not forcing Toyota to take broader actions in the face of complaints of sudden acceleration, has assumed a more aggressive stance on recalls in general.
It is opening investigations faster, sometimes based on fewer complaints, and is pushing automakers to recall more vehicles, faster.

In addition, more than 64,000 complaints have been filed this year, up from about 35,000 a year in recent years, and NHTSA is giving them a closer look.

'Profits above safety'
Auto safety advocates say the higher number of recalls and complaints this year are evidence that Congress should act on long-stalled legislation to give NHTSA more power — including ability to invoke an "imminent hazard" — to get unsafe vehicles off the roads if an automaker refuses.

"NHTSA does not have the authority or resources to stand up to an auto industry that always has and always will place profits above safety," Clarence Ditlow, executive director of the Center for Automotive Safety, who advocates giving the government greater authority in auto safety matters.
Edmunds.com said its analysis of NHTSA recall data showed that recallsare "up dramatically from the 13.4 million vehicle annual average from 2005-09."
"The Toyota recalls cast a much brighter spotlight on this process," said Edmunds analystPanee Segal. "It will be interesting to see if the trend continues into the future when recalls aren't earning front page headlines."

e para começar bem o ano...

-Mercedes-Benz Clase C, E, S, GLK, M, GL, R, G, Vito, Viano y Sprinter: Se ha detectado que podría desarrollarse una fisura en el sellado de la apertura de drenaje del filtro del combustible, lo que podría provocar una fuga de gasoil al exterior del vehículo. Desconocemos el alcance del tamaño de la campaña (el número de modelos impresiona), pero sabemos que todos los vehículos con estos filtros fueron fabricados entre 2009 y 2010.

-Nissan Juke y Note: De acuerdo con el comunicado, que ha sido emitido por las autoridades portuguesas para su difusión en la UE, el líquido de frenos podría estar contaminado con aceite mineral, causando que los sellos de la línea se dilaten. Síntoma y consecuencia de ello sería la necesidad de apretar con más fuerza el pedal de freno. Todos los coches afectados salieron de la fábrica entre el 8 y el 9 de noviembre de 2010.

-Volvo S40, V50, S60 y XC60: Los topes utilizados en los asientos delanteros de accionamiento eléctrico podrían no cumplir las especificaciones del fabricante o directamente no estar instalados, lo que permitiría al asiento desplazarse con más holgura de la deseable sobre sus guías. Esto aumentaría el riesgo de sufrir lesiones en un accidente. Los modelos afectados son coches 2009-2010.

volvo em grande...

-Nissan Primastar: Fallo en el freno de mano. Citando el texto emitido por el Instituto Nacional del Consumo, "existe la posibilidad de que el escañado del cable no sea suficiente para retener correctamente el cable dentro de ese escañado. Esto puede terminar en una perdida de funcionamiento del freno de estacionamiento. El cable del sistema de freno de estacionamiento puede soltarse y no retener adecuadamente el vehículo". Estas furgonetas fueron fabricadas entre el 19 de mayo y el 23 de agosto de 2010.

-Volvo S80, S60, V70, V60, XC60, XC70, C30, S40 y V50: Se ha detectado que algunas líneas de combustible a alta presión podrían no estar bien instaladas, existiendo riesgo de fugas, y por tanto, incendio. Todos los vehículos afectados por la campaña de servicio equipan el motor diésel de cinco cilindros. No tenemos un rango de vehículos, pero Volvo se pondrá en contacto con los propietarios de las unidades en cuestión para proceder con las reparaciones.

-Think City: La segunda llamada a revisión para el pequeño eléctrico tiene que ver con los ABS, que podrían funcionar incorrectamente debido a una conexión defectuosa de los cables de las ruedas traseras. Como el resto de los fabricantes, Think asumirá la responsabilidad de comunicar el defecto a los conductores del modelo.

Renault Megane II RS, alguém ajuda a traduzir?
Parece-me algo relacionado com elementos do trem dianteiro, que suportam os casquilhos...
Quem tiver melhor conhecimento da lingua, é favor avançar.

Tras varias semanas de enciclopédicas llamadas a revisión, este sábado las autoridades europeas sólo recogen una solitaria campaña de servicio técnico. El desafortunado protagonista no es otro que el Renault Mégane RS de anterior generación, cuyo nombre aparece en la lista del Instituto Nacional del Consumo de España. Esto es lo que dice el informe:
Se ha producido una no conformidad en el proceso de fundición que ha ocasionado la presencia de fisuras en una pequeña cantidad de portabujes delantero derecho. Con riesgo de ruidos en el tren delantero y, en algunos casos, rotura del portabujes delantero.
​
No es la clase de cosas que uno desearía encontrarse tomando una curva a cuchillo, así que Renault revisará los números de los portabujes para encontrar aquellos defectuosos y sustituirlos. Los vehículos afectados salieron de las cadenas entre el 14 de abril y el 5 de mayo de 2004.

Toyota recalls 245,000 Lexus sedans in U.S., 1.7 million cars globally

Toyota recalls 245,000 Lexus sedans in U.S., 1.7 million cars globally

We won't blame you for reading this headline and thinking, "Oh great, another Toyota recall." After all, the Japanese automaker dominated headlines in 2010 by recalling every single model in its then-current product portfolio, including the massive sticky pedal and unintended acceleration recalls that took place in the first half of last year.

Now, Toyota has issued a voluntary recall on about 245,000 Lexus sedans here in the United States and an additional 1.5 million vehicles around the world. Here in the U.S., the 2006-2007 Lexus GS 300 and GS 350, 2006-2009 Lexus IS 250 and 2006-2008 Lexus IS 350 sedans are being recalled due to faulty installation of fuel pressure sensors. If this sensor has not been fastened tightly enough, fuel has the potential to leak between the gasket that connects it to the fuel delivery pipes. Including these North American vehicles, the fuel sensor recall affects 354,524 vehicles around the world, with Automotive News citing that the Toyota Crown and Mark X sedans are being recalled in the automaker's home market.

Toyota's other global recall involves faulty fuel pipes and fuel check valves, though none of the 1.34 million vehicles affected by this one are in North America. In Japan, the RAV4 crossover, Voxy and Noah minivans are being recalled, as well as the Avensis sedan and wagon sold in Europe.

For full details on Toyota's recall here in the States, follow the jump for the automaker's official press release.

Novamente, o pequeno Think na ribalta...

Think firm issues 2 recalls for EV City model

Washington — Electric vehicle startup Think has issued two recalls for its new 2011 City model.

The company, which has its North American headquarters in Dearborn, said it is issuing two recalls — one for seat belts and the other for possible defects with the windshield defroster.


Both cover a small number of vehicles. The company recently began production in Elkhart, Ind.

Think is recalling 16 vehicles to conduct inspection, reinstallation or replacement of their front seat belts. The company said its vehicle assembly operations may have inadvertently installed the driver-side seat belt subassemblies into the passenger-side seating positions — and vice versa — during the vehicles' final assembly.

In the other campaign, Think is calling back 23 2011 City vehicles over the vehicles' fluid heater assemblies and their performance as part of the vehicles' defroster/defogger system.

Poor performance in the vehicles' fluid heater assemblies could cause the heater-defroster system to fail to clear the windshield in cold or humid conditions, which could potentially increase the risk of a crash, Think said.

Think dealers will inspect the heater. If they find a possible performance problem with the vehicle's fluid heater assembly, the dealers will install a replacement fluid heater assembly and retest, the company said.
