Gear-selector actuator on the E-Tech 200 hybrid gearbox

Sources are not verified in real time and no entry confirms that your car is affected.

Engine / equipment: E-Tech full hybrid 200 (1.2 turbo three-cylinder with clutchless dog gearbox): Renault Austral, Espace and Rafale
Period mentioned: 2022 onwards
Symptoms: Gearbox fault warning on the dashboard and limited performance; somewhat abrupt or slow shifts, typical of an unsynchronised gearbox.
Possible cause described: Renault recalled the Austral E-Tech full hybrid (campaign 0E8K, letter of January 2024) for a possible gearbox fault: it replaces the selector actuator free of charge. The dog gearbox has no synchronisers, which is why each shift takes about half a second.
Check for the garage: Check campaign 0E8K by VIN in the MyRenault app or at the dealer; if the warning appears, ask for the gearbox codes to be read.
Cost cited in the source: Free under the recall.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
