Renault Kangoo: Bench Seat May Move Forward Without Warning
Recall Summary Renault is recalling 194 Kangoo vehicles because the mounting screws that hold the bench seat base in place may break when the seat is repeatedly moved to create a flat load area. If the screws break, the seat could move forward unexpectedly, and in rare cases, reduce protection in a crash. Renault will inspect affected vehicles and install metal inserts and replace the mounting screws on both sides of the seat.

- Vehicles: RENAULT KANGOO. Units affected: 194
- Reason
- The beach seat base mounting screws may break when the bench is repeatedly repositioned to allow a flat load area. Should this happen a noise will be heard from the bench. In exceptional cases if the screw has broken this may cause a loss of protection during an impact. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the vehicle. A metal insert will be fitted between the seatback folding pivot and the mounting screw (left and right). Additionally the mounting screws (left and right) will also be replaced.
