Renault recalls commercial vehicles due to accelerator pedal and steering issues

Setanta Vehicle Importers Ltd has announced a recall for specific Renault commercial vehicles due to various safety concerns. The affected models include the Renault Master IV, Kangoo III, and Wide ZE, with a total of 3,169 vehicles impacted in the Republic of Ireland. The recalls address issues such as the potential breakage of the accelerator pedal stop, protruding rear swing door strikes, and problems with the steering gear housing and control switch mechanisms.

One significant concern involves the Renault Master IV, where the accelerator pedal stop may break if excessive force is applied, potentially leading to loss of acceleration and traction while driving. Another issue with the Kangoo III relates to the rear swing doors, which could pose a risk of head injury during loading or unloading operations. Additionally, the Master IV may experience steering issues due to improper fitting of components, risking power steering loss.

The Wide ZE model has been recalled due to premature wear of the forward/reverse control switch, which could cause involuntary deceleration or unexpected movement of the vehicle. All affected customers are advised to contact their local Renault Trucks Dealer to arrange for an inspection of their vehicles. Setanta Vehicle Importers Ltd will reach out directly to those impacted to facilitate this process.
