Vauxhall, Porsche and Isuzu are among several manufacturers who have issued recalls in recent weeks.
Vauxhall is recalling 53,853 2019-on Corsa models fitted with the 1.2-litre non-turbocharged engine due to the potential issue of exceeding regulatory emissions standards. Vauxhall has stated that affected vehicles will be assessed and will have the cannister purge valve (PCV) and/or fuel line replaced.
Isuzu is recalling 19,906 Isuzu D-Max models due to a potential emissions issue affecting the EMC and DCU software. Affected vehicles fitted with the 1.9-litre RZ4E diesel engine may under very specific driving conditions experience engine management control that may result in temporary emission irregularities. Isuzu has stated that affected vehicles will have an Engine Management Control unit software update.
Porsche recalls Taycan models over brake hose issue
Porsche is recalling 21,548 Taycan models due to a potential issue with brake hoses.
On affected vehicles brake hoses were installed on the left and right of the front axle that were designed with too small a bending radius. Over time and under certain conditions this can lead to material fatigue and a defect in the brake hose.
Porsche has stated that affected vehicles will have the brake hoses replaced.

What is a vehicle recall?
DVSA safety recalls happen when a potentially dangerous issue is identified with a vehicle.
Reasons for safety recalls can vary from small technical issues with windscreen wipers to major safety faults with airbags. In all cases, the vehicle will need to be checked by the manufacturer. This will usually take place at a local dealership.
How do I find out if my car has been recalled?
The manufacturer will get in touch with the owners of any affected vehicles, using details from the DVLA. If your car needs to be recalled you should get a letter, phone call or email.
The correspondence will explain what the issue is, how the manufacturer plans to fix it and who to contact to arrange for any checks or work to be carried out.
If you have a second hand car the manufacturer might not be able to reach you so contact a dealership to check if there's anything outstanding for your vehicle or check on GOV.UK if you're not sure
Do I have to pay for recall work?
No you don't have to pay for recall work. Recall fixes and checks are carried out free of charge. Although dealers may try to get you to undertake other work on your car when it's in for recall work. Only agree and pay for work that you're happy to have carried out and that you think your car requires.
