Opel/Vauxhall Zafira, Vivaro

The risk

Certain vehicles equipped with the DW10F Euro 6.4 engine may have a defect in the system that monitors urea consumption. The diagnostic test designed to detect problems such as low urea use or a blocked injector may not run frequently enough. This creates a risk that the vehicle’s emissions system will not be properly checked, and as a result, the vehicle may fail to meet the required emissions standards. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
