A recall has been issued for the Renault Austral passenger car. The recall is being conducted by the manufacturer due to a non-compliance issue identified in the ABS-ESP control unit.

3. Hazard Information

The product poses a risk of injuries due to a non-compliance with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles. The specific danger is that the ABS-ESP control unit may have been incorrectly programmed by the supplier. As a result of this error, if the braking control system fails, the driver may not receive a warning that the following functions are unavailable:
– Emergency brake assist
– Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
– Electronic stability programme (ESP)
– Automatic emergency braking (AEB)
– Hydraulic brake booster (HBB)
– Hydraulic braking compensation (HBC)

The lack of a dashboard warning for the unavailability of these critical safety systems increases the risk of an accident.

4. Consumer Action Required

The recall notice specifies that the measure taken is a “Recall of the product from end users.” Consumers who own an affected Renault Austral vehicle should contact an authorized Renault dealer to have the vehicle inspected and corrected. The recall is effective as of 02/04/2025.

5. Official Remedy

The official remedy is a recall of the product from end users. The type of economic operator taking the notified measure is the manufacturer. The specific corrective action (e.g., reprogramming of the control unit) is not detailed in the source data, but the measure is a recall to address the programming error.
