A recall covering several brands counts for each.
15 Oct 2026 · Safety Gate · BE · SR/02940/26 · also on RappelConso
The front seat head cushions may not be sufficiently secured and could become detached during a collision. This could reduce occupant protection and increase the risk of injury.
Official notice15 Oct 2026 · Safety Gate · BE · SR/02937/26
A loosened screw may become caught in the steering mechanism, preventing the steering from operating correctly, or cause the handle lock to detach. This could lead to loss of control and a fall, increasing the risk of injury.
Official notice08 Oct 2026 · Safety Gate · BE · SR/02848/26
A crack may develop in the rear subframe and propagate over time, reducing the structural integrity of the vehicle. This could affect vehicle stability and reduce occupant protection in the event of a collision, increasing the risk of an accident and injury.
Official notice24 Sep 2026 · Safety Gate · BE · SR/02665/26 · also on RappelConso
BRP CAN-AM
Depending on driver usage of USB and Bluetooth connections, a communication failure or memory leak may occur. This can cause an inoperative or frozen instrument cluster to fail to display critical safety information, including vehicle speed and warning telltales. Additionally, during a cluster reset, turn signals and hazard lights will temporarily deactivate or fail to respond. These conditions reduce the driver's awareness of vehicle status and limit the ability of surrounding road users to recognize the driver’s intent, increasing the risk of an accident.
Official notice29 Jul 2026 · Safety Gate · BE · SR/02118/26
Kia · Niro EV
Due to insufficient detection capability in the Battery Management System, micro-shorts between battery cells may remain undetected. Undetected micro-shorts could cause the cells to overheat and lead to a fire while the vehicle is parked or charging.
Official notice22 Jul 2026 · Safety Gate · BE · SR/02091/26
Kia · PV5
The passenger van has uneven material strength in certain areas of the bonnet. In the event of a collision with a pedestrian, this could reduce the bonnet’s ability to absorb impact energy and increase the severity of injuries to the pedestrian.
Official notice17 Jul 2026 · Safety Gate · BE · SR/02058/26
Kia · K4
A seat belt anchorage buckle may not lock properly, which could prevent the seat belt from adequately restraining the occupant in certain collision scenarios, increasing the risk of injury.

A fatigue failure of the front brake calliper support may occur after multiple hard or emergency braking. This increases the risk of injuries.
Official notice17 Apr 2026 · Safety Gate · BE · SR/01158/26
The fuel hose connected to the fuel tank unexpectedly comes off during riding, resulting in fuel leakage. Leaked fuel may adhere to the rear wheel, increasing the risk of an accident and fire.
Official notice30 Mar 2026 · Safety Gate · BE · SR/00945/26 · also on RappelConso
The audio system’s wiring harness may cause a noise due to faulty connections. If the sound in the car is lost, safety signals such as the seat belt warning signal may also fail. This may could lead to an accident and injuries.
Official notice23 Mar 2026 · Safety Gate · BE · SR/00865/26
Honda · Honda
The vehicle has defective parts (Cylinder Block). The oil consumption rate of vehicles incorporating defective parts may deteriorate quickly. Continued riding without noticing that the amount of oil has decreased could result in reduced oil pressure that may lead to connecting rod bearing seizure, connecting rod breakage, or rear wheel lock. This increase the risk of an accident.
Official notice23 Mar 2026 · Safety Gate · BE · SR/00864/26
Honda · Honda
The vehicle has defective parts (Piston and Piston Rings). The oil consumption rate of vehicles incorporating defective parts may deteriorate quickly. Continued riding without noticing that the amount of oil has decreased could result in reduced oil pressure that may lead to connecting rod bearing seizure, connecting rod breakage, or rear wheel lock. This increase the risk of an accident.
Official notice13 Mar 2026 · Safety Gate · BE · SR/00244/26
The fuel hose brackets may not adequately secure the fuel hose. As a result, the hose may excessively vibrate and crack when engine runs at high engine speeds, resulting in a fuel leakage. This could increase the risk of fire.
Official notice24 Feb 2026 · Safety Gate · BE · SR/00619/26 · also on RappelConso
Volvo Cars · Volvo
Insufficient welding strength between the recliner and the lower bracket may compromise the backrest’s ability to provide optimal occupant protection in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Official notice16 Jan 2026 · Safety Gate · BE · SR/00133/26 · also on RappelConso
A short circuit can cause the turn signals, brake lights, horn, gauges, hazard lights, tail light, and license light to stop working. Non functioning lights can lead to accidents and injuries.
Official notice15 Jan 2026 · Safety Gate · BE · SR/00036/26 · also on RappelConso
Honda · Honda
The motorcycle has defective parts. Consequently, the oil consumption rate can deteriorate rapidly. Continuing to drive without noticing that the oil level has dropped could result in a reduction in oil pressure, which could lead to seizure of the connecting rod bearing, breakage of the connecting rod, or locking of the rear wheel. These defects could cause an accident. Furthermore, oil spilling onto a hot silencer could cause a vehicle fire.
Official notice07 Jan 2026 · Safety Gate · BE · SR/00026/26 · also on RappelConso
Due to a defect in the manufacturing, the indicator of the oil level is not functioning correctly. This could result in a reduction in oil pressure, which could lead to seizure of the connecting rod bearing, breakage of the connecting rod, or locking of the rear wheel. This could cause an accident. The oil spilling onto a hot silencer could cause a fire.
Official notice06 Jan 2026 · Safety Gate · BE · SR/00019/26 · also on RappelConso
Nissan · Interstar
The fuel rail protector may have been incorrectly assembled, which could cause its mounting bracket to fracture under certain driving conditions. In the event of a frontal collision, the fuel rail could break and leak fuel into the engine compartment, increasing the risk of fire.
