Renault Recalls — Canada & USA

Renault has 9 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 1976 through 1988. Across those models, 25 recall campaigns are recorded, with 80% falling into the Critical or High tiers under the severity rating system. Critical recalls, which account for 64% of all campaigns in the lineup, cover conditions such as loss of vehicle control, fire risk, and other hazards with the potential for serious injury or death. High recalls add another 16%, meaning the vast majority of activity on record carries the two most serious designations. The remaining 20% falls into the Low tier, with no recalls recorded in the Medium or Informational tiers.

The Renault 5 leads the lineup with 6 recall campaigns, followed by the 18 and the Alliance, each with 4 recalls. The Le Car, the Fuego, and the Sportwagon also appear in the database, reflecting a range of passenger car and wagon models sold in the United States market during this era. Because the coverage window closes in 1988, all 25 campaigns correspond to vehicles that are now several decades old, and the severity distribution reflects the kinds of structural, fuel system, and braking concerns that characterized recall activity during that period of automotive regulation.
