Renault Australia has recalled the 2022-23 Koleos due to an issue with its bonnet.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the bonnet outer panel and inner frame may not have been bonded correctly,” the company says in its recall notice.
“As a result, the bonnet outer panel could detach due to vibrations whilst driving and/or at high speed.
“In the event of the bonnet outer panel detaching from the vehicle whilst driving, it can increase the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.”
- A total of 1872 vehicles are affected from 2022 to 2023
- The VIN list is attached here
- The recall notice is attached here
If you own an affected vehicle, you’ll need to contact an authorised Renault dealership to have a free inspection and repair carried out.
If you have any further questions, you can contact Renault Australia Customer Care on 1800 009 008.
