3 recalls across 2 model years
The Renault 12 has 3 recalls covering the 1976 and 1977 model years, with the most serious being a throttle return spring defect on both years where the spring may lack enough force to pull the throttle back to idle, potentially leaving the engine at elevated speed until the driver brakes hard or switches off the ignition.
The 1976 model year shares this throttle spring issue and also has a separate recall for windshield bonding that may not hold the glass securely in place, raising the risk of the windshield separating from the body in a crash.
