Five brands that you should definitely not mess with because of possible technical problems

A lot of experienced (and not so) "experts" advise on the Internet how to choose the right car in the secondary market. And almost all of them forget about another criterion for screening out dubious purchase options - cars that fell into recall companies, periodically carried out by almost all automakers. car b. y. after the "review" is better not to take

It is known that even before the automaker officially recognizes their marriage as a marriage, many owners of “happy” cars often turn to repairmen themselves with problems that later turn into “revocable”.

What they were "eliminated" there and - only God knows. In addition, even after the announcement of a revocable company, many owners of cars that fell under it are completely unaware of it.

Some of them who are still in the know do not take the problem seriously and do not find time to visit the “official”. Buying a used car from such a car owner is a lottery that you should not get involved in. In this note, we have collected the most large-scale recall campaigns held in Russia since the beginning of 2019.

So, in the spring of this year, almost 11 Peugeot and Citroen vehicles were announced to be recalled on the Russian market. The Citroёn C000 and Peugeot 1, sold from February 107 to August 2006, turned out to have a fragile adhesive fastening of the rear door glass.

For Peugeot (Traveller, Expert) and Citroёn (Spacetourer, Jumpy) minivans sold from August 2017 to October 2018, the rear suspension threads were overtightened at the factory, which could cause deformation.

In April 2019, a recall was announced for 52 Subaru vehicles. Subaru Impreza (G043), XV (G4), Forester (SH / SJ), BRZ (ZC), which found their owners in 4-2012, are characterized by valve spring fatigue failure in two-liter engines, both atmospheric and turbocharged.

On Subaru Impreza, WRX, WRX STI (G3), XV (G4), Forester (SJ) sold from 2009-2016, the EyeSight and VDC warning lights may spontaneously flash while driving. Stop lights, on the other hand, don't come on. In addition, the engine may not start for no reason, and the “variator” selector does not move from “P” to other positions.

Earlier, in March of this year, it was announced about the recall of almost 20 Renault - Dokker and Duster, sold from November 000 to the present. During assembly, the sealing membrane in the brake booster is incorrectly placed in them.

Also in March, a recall of 5 Volvo S500, XC80, XC70, V60, V60 Cross Country, XC60, and V90 Cross Country was launched. So, for 40 Volvo XC3s purchased in 153-60, the tailgate lift servomotors, under certain conditions, can freeze and fail because of this.

And in 2 Volvo S393, XC80, XC70, V60, V60 Cross Country, XC60, V90 Cross Country with diesel engines purchased in 40, a hose of one of the fuel lines in the engine compartment can crack and eventually lead to a fuel leak.

Around the same time, a similar fate befell almost 4500 Audi brands - A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Q7 with 3,0 TFSI engines, purchased by customers from 2013 to 2018. Here, a threat of fuel leakage from both fuel rails in the low pressure area was discovered.
