Renault MEGANE (2018–2019)
What the hazard is
If the engine fails, the driver may experience heavier steering, loss of auxiliaries and/or need to apply much greater braking effort. This poses an increased risk of an accident and injury to the vehicle occupants and other road users.
What to do
Renault will contact affected owners in writing and advise them to present their vehicle to a Renault dealer, to arrange an inspection, modification of the engine wiring, engine oil pressure check and replacement of the solenoid valve, where necessary. For further information, consumers should contact Renault via their web site https://www.renault.com.au/contact_us
Defect
The oil pressure solenoid valve wiring was not manufactured to the required specifications, which may lead to engine failure.
