Since 2015 …
The engines of 400,000 vehicles are implicated by these defects, according to the association. A dozen models are affected: the Clio 4, Mégane 3, Kadjar and Kangoo 2 at Renault, Duster, Dokker and Lodgy at Dacia, Juke and Qashqai 2 at Nissan, and Citan at Mercedes, among others.

The diamond brand affirms, for its part, that 90% of cases have been treated and that it had never been ordered to withdraw these market vehicles.
