Vauxhall Crossland: The Engine Pistons May Not Be To Specification
Recall Summary Vauxhall is recalling 104 Crossland and Grandland vehicles because some engine pistons may not meet specifications, which could allow oil to enter the inlet circuit. In rare cases, this could cause the engine to temporarily run at higher speeds and potentially fail completely. Vauxhall will test the affected engines and replace them if necessary.
