Vauxhall Mokka: Tail Lights May Fail If Rear Bicycle Carrier Is Folded Back Incorrectly
Certain Vauxhall Mokka vehicles from 2013-2017 equipped with rear bicycle carriers may fail to illuminate their tail lights if the carrier is not folded back into its correct stowed position after use. The vehicle's control system won't recognize an improperly stowed carrier and won't turn on the rear lights when needed. Vauxhall will fix this by attaching an instruction sticker to the bicycle carrier on affected vehicles to show drivers how to properly store it.
