Every Vauxhall Antara recall
Newest first. The concern is the part or system affected, the defect is what can go wrong, and the remedy is what the manufacturer does to put it right.
FUEL MAY LEAK
R/2018/126, launched 10 May 2018, 4,697 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: on a certain number of Antara (RHD) with 2.0L Diesel Engine Model Year 2007 - 2010 there is a potential for a fuel leak caused by a partial or complete disconnection of a fuel feed hose connector. This fuel leak leads to engine stalling and in a worst case it might potentially result in an engine bay fire. This fuel leak leads to engine stalling and in a worst case it might potentially result in an engine bay fire. No reported cases of fires.
Remedy: to Check and correct the fuel feed hose routing replace the fuel feed hose quick connector retainer and apply a warning sticker to advice that the retainer is a single-use part
POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
R/2016/264, launched 13 January 2017, 5,003 vehicles affected across the models it covers

POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
R/2015/137, launched 7 August 2015, 22,373 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: In order for proper regeneration of the Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) system the vehicle in the active regeneration mode directs the driver by illuminating the DPF warning light to drive the vehicle at constant speed without interruption until the DPF warning light turns off. In the event that the driver ignores the DPF warning light and the corresponding direction the DPF system as well as exhaust pipe will be abnormally overheated. This may cause a fire at the Lower Engine Compartment Cover located near the DPF system and exhaust pipe.
Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and initially remove and discard the Lower Engine Compartment Cover. When parts are available the vehicles will be recalled to have the new Lower Engine Compartment Cover fitted.
ENGINE MAY START INADVERTENTLY
R/2015/113, launched 19 July 2015, 2,803 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: Repeated key insertion could create intense wear condition on the trigger of the ignition cylinder internal component. As consequence Engine starter motor might self-crank and the vehicle moves involuntarily if the ignition key has been left in the ignition lock cylinder in the LOCK (OFF) position and a gear engaged. The concern only affects vehicles with manual transmission.
Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a modified ignition Key cylinder.
BRAKE PERFORMANCE MAY BE REDUCED
R/2012/095, launched 21 September 2012, 4,403 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: It is possible that a number of vehicles may have had the brake system filled with the incorrect brake fluid which can cause corrosion in the hydraulic ABS modulator.

Remedy: Recall all affected vehicles to check the ABS modulator and to replace the brake fluid. If found defective replace the hydraulic ABS modulator.
