Opel issues global recall for the Corsa

Opel is recalling 16,605 units of its Corsa small car worldwide due to a software error, causing prescribed compliance test bench measurements with the exhaust emission regulations to not be able to be carried out. Curiously, the recall also affects the all-electric variant of the Corsa.

“In accordance with legal requirements, it must also be possible for authorities to carry out a chassis dynamometer measurement on this model at any time,” an Opel spokesperson explained to the specialist portal Kfz-Betrieb. The entry in the KBA’s recall database is also unambiguous: “This concerns, among other things, various tests on the chassis dynamometer and expressly includes the electric vehicles.”
