What is this? Some Renault cars have a problem with the window airbags. The mix of chemicals that make the airbags open is wrong. This could stop the airbags from working in a crash.

What's happening? Renault has recalled certain models to fix the airbag issue. The wrong mix could mean the airbags won’t inflate when needed.

Does this affect me? If you own a Renault Espace, Kadjar, Megane, Scenic, Talisman, or similar model, check if yours is part of the recall.

What should I do? Contact a Renault dealer or your local garage right away. Ask your dealer or a mechanic to check and fix the airbags for free.
