Official recalls: ask before you pay

A recall existing does not mean this car is affected or that it is still outstanding: it depends on the chassis number, the market and the production date.

  1. Ask the seller for the chassis number (VIN): it has 17 characters, appears in the car's documents and can usually also be seen at the base of the windscreen.
  2. Ask an official Dacia dealer, or the brand's official website if it lets you check by chassis number, whether each recall has been done or is still outstanding for that VIN.
  3. Manufacturer recalls are normally carried out free of charge by the official service network. If one is outstanding, ask for it to be done before you close the sale.

On the test drive: what to look and listen for

0 of 2 checked

Gearbox

  • Look out for: With the manual gearbox, gears that are hard to engage and clutches that fail early; on the ECO-G, an “injection fault” message and warning light; on the Hybrid 140, a gearbox that overheats or misbehaves.

    Ask them to check: Ask by VIN whether the EEB3, LPG and hybrid-gearbox campaigns were done; try every gear from cold; look for oil residue under the hybrid gearbox.

Intake / engine management

  • Look out for: "Check injection" message with the orange warning light on, especially when running on LPG.

    Ask them to check: Note whether it happens on LPG or petrol, and in hot weather. At the dealer, ask about the special recalibration operation before replacing injectors or the LPG reducer.
