Vauxhall Recall: Warning Over Corsa Steering

Recalls By Carmakers On The Rise

Updated: 11:25am UK, Saturday 27 September 2014

The recall by Vauxhall of around 3,000 vehicles because of a steering problem is just the latest in a series of headaches for motor manufacturers.

Last year, manufacturers recalled 868,605 vehicles to dealerships to fix potentially life-threatening defects - up from 665,000 in 2009.

However, the increase does not necessarily mean cars are more prone to faults, but that firms are acting more quickly to deal with problems - anxious to avoid damage to their brands.

Here are just some of the major recalls seen in the past year or so.

:: Only this week US car giant Ford put out a recall on around 850,000 cars in the US over a "potential issue" with airbags.

:: Ferrari has recalled more than 3,000 of its £200,000 luxury sports cars because a fault with a latch means anyone trapped in the boot would not be able to get out.

:: General Motors recalled more than 220,000 cars to correct a brake defect that could increase the risk of fire.

:: Earlier this year, Toyota issued a recall affecting 6.4 million vehicles worldwide and 35,124 in the UK. The carmaker has learned the lessons from the past when it suffered a backlash, after being seen to have responded too slowly to a fault that caused models to accelerate without warning in 2010.

:: Aston Martin recalled 17,590 sports cars in February due to a problem with the accelerator pedal.

:: In 2013, Mercedes recalled 2,540 M-class SUV models in the UK when it discovered a particular floor mat could impede the accelerator pedal.
