What are the defects?

The owner’s manual window operation section contains an error in the wording and may cause the user to wrongly operate the child safety features on the rear door.

What are the hazards?

The rear doors may be opened from the inside by a child in the back seat. This could increase the risk of injury and or death to vehicle occupants.

What should consumers do?

The handbook requires the words ‘and doors’ to be blocked out with a black marker. Owners should contact their nearest Renault dealer as soon as possible to organise a suitable time to have the handbook amended while they wait. This will be free of charge.

824 vehicles affected by this recall !

Mind you...this is why Australian Design Rules are no joke.

This is almost as good as the trucker’s who I believe sued based on misleading guidelines due to a lack of an oxford comma.

Break out the sharpies!

Later this month a second wave of recalls will be performed to rectify improper fixes using blue sharpie or dry erase.
