Renault Master IV and Kangoo III recalled due to accelerator pedal and door risks

Setanta Vehicle Importers Ltd is recalling several models of Renault commercial vehicles due to various safety concerns. One issue involves the Renault Master IV, where the breakage force on the accelerator pedal stop was omitted during specifications updates. This could lead to the accelerator pedal stop breaking under excessive force, potentially causing loss of acceleration while the vehicle is in motion.

Another concern affects the Renault Kangoo III, where the rear swing doors may protrude, posing a risk of head injury when entering or exiting the vehicle with the doors open. Additionally, certain Renault Master IV vehicles may experience damage to the steering gear housing due to improper fitting of mechanical components, which could result in a loss of power steering.

The Renault Wide ZE is also being recalled due to premature wear of the forward/reverse control switch, which may cause involuntary deceleration or stopping of the vehicle, affecting nearby road users. A total of 1254 Renault Master IV vehicles, 1906 Renault Kangoo III vehicles, 3 Renault Master IV vehicles, and 9 Renault Wide ZE vehicles are affected by these recalls in the Republic of Ireland.

Affected customers will be contacted directly by Setanta Vehicle Importers Ltd to arrange inspections at their local Renault Trucks Dealer. It is important for consumers to respond promptly to these notifications and have their vehicles checked to ensure safety.
