Renault is recalling 94 examples of its now-discontinued Megane RS performance hatch to rectify a fault that could cause a dramatic reduction in power.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the engine air flow meter may miscommunicate with the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). As a result, it may cause the vehicle to enter limp mode leading to a loss of motive power whilst driving and/or STOP driving warning lamps may illuminate on the instrument cluster,” the company says in its recall notice.
“A loss of motive power whilst driving increases the risk of an accident, causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.”
