Renault has issued a safety recall in the UK—six of its popular models are impacted by a fault in the electronic parking brake system that may allow vehicles to roll unexpectedly.
Six Models Under Recall’
Models affected include the Megane E‑Tech, Captur, Scenic E‑Tech, Austral, Symbioz, Rafale and six Dacia Dusters. All built between April 2024 and January 2025.
What’s Wrong with the Brake System
The problem stems from a misaligned position sensor inside the parking brake actuator. This might cause the brake pin to misposition when “P” is engaged.
Risk of Unexpected Movement
Because the brake may not engage properly, vehicles could roll unintentionally—posing danger when parked, especially on inclines or uneven ground.
Owners Will Be Contacted
Renault has stated that affected UK owners will be contacted directly about which cars are involved.
How to Check If Your Car Is Affected
You can use your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)—found in your car’s door frame or dashboard—to check via Renault’s recall response system.
Repairs Are Free
If your vehicle is included in this recall, Renault will carry out the necessary repair at no cost to the owner.
What You Should Do Now
At present, there is no immediate action required beyond checking if your car is part of the recall. If it is, arrange the repair with a Renault retailer.
