3 recalls across 2 model years
The Renault 12 has 3 recalls covering the 1976 and 1977 model years, the most serious being a throttle return spring defect on both years where the spring may lack sufficient force to pull the throttle back to idle, potentially leaving the engine at elevated speed and requiring the driver to apply the brakes or switch off the ignition to slow down.
The 1976 model year carries the same throttle return spring concern as the 1977. It also has a separate recall for windshield bonding that may not hold the glass securely in place, which can allow the windshield to separate from the body in a crash.
