It doesn’t take much to stand as a candidate in the presidential election, but it takes even less to get on the recall list of the German Federal Motor Transport Authority: Opel has to recall more than 200,000 Corsa models worldwide. The reason: a “missing warning to the driver in the event of a defect in the direction indicators”.
In plain language: If the turn signal doesn’t work, the driver doesn’t notice it. Model years 2019 to 2021 are affected, says the KBA, and recommends contacting Opel or an authorized workshop on the matter. Small error, big recall Opel explained that there are a good 20,000 vehicles in the Corsa model series in Germany, with so-called Ecoled headlights be equipped. In Austria it should be about 2000 cars. “To date, we are not aware of any incidents of property damage and/or personal injury in this context,” said an Opel spokesman. The visit to the workshop at the authorized Opel Service Partner is free of charge for the customer and provides for an update of the diagnostic software. This takes about 45 minutes. An over-the-air update is not possible.
