Check Ducato Recall

[Tim120]

As in the title.
I have searched but to no avail, lots of info but nothing current.
I'm sure there used to be a site where you could input a vin no. and it would let you know.
Any help welcome.
TIA.

The DVLA MOT check using your reg number has a section to show outstanding recalls..

Check the MOT history of a vehicle

Check the MOT history of a vehicle from 2005 onwards, including if it passed or failed, its mileage and why it failed, download MOT test certificate

I think that is only safety recalls that the manufacturer has noted DVLA about. there are lots of other recalls that don't appear there.

Have read about the 9 speed auto box (which I have) fitted to some engines being recalled.
Might have to phone to find out.

This was for older models Tim.
I was informed the same but when I checked out it only applied to the 160 models no longer available, and the 180 which I have. But mine is a year old and ok.
If required it’s a software update which takes about 30 minutes.

Also this site. Check by base vehicle or converter. In my case Hymer.

Phoned Camper UK where I got the van, all ok with mine, some of the newer vans, mines a 20 plate might be affected.

For which models is the update available?​

The update is intended for Ducato models of the 8th generation equipped with the 9-speed torque converter automatic transmission , which are equipped with the 2.2-liter engines with 160 and 180 hp . According to Fiat, no above-average frequency of damage is known in connection with the 140-hp engine. According to Stellantis, the 2.3-liter diesel engines installed before the summer of 2021 are also not affected, although they have largely the same power and torque. In combination with these engines, however, no noticeable susceptibility to defects of the automatic transmission is known. Before the introduction of the new generation of engines, this combination was sold for several years without any noticeably frequent defects occurring. However, both the 140-hp engine with 2.2-liter displacement and the entire 2.3-liter engine range have a slightly different torque curve, with which the 9-speed apparently harmonizes. Only the torque curves of the 160 and 180 hp 2.2 liter seem to cause problems for the automatic transmission.

I believe it only applies to 160 and 180 BHP models (yours is the 160BHP one if I remember correctly). See attachment

Hi Del,
I think mine is a 2.3/160, I should know, I'm happy that CamperUK checked and confirmed there was not a problem. Seems like a lot of speculation on the net, as only to be expected.
If there is any doubt it's best to call and make sure.

Regards,
Tim.

That ProMobil article omits to say the update is needed for the Series 9 as well as the Series 8. I also notice that the Stellantis letter calls it a Customer Satisfaction Notification, not a recall, so don’t look for it on the Government safety recalls.
