Profeco Issues Public Alert as Renault Kwid Inspection Campaign Targets 33,046 Cars for Rear-Axle Risk

Mexico's consumer agency is supervising an open-ended program that offers no-cost fixes for potentially faulty rear-axle mount housings.

Overview

  • The campaign covers Renault Kwid vehicles from model years 2022–2024 built between May 5, 2021 and May 12, 2023 in Mexico.
  • Renault identified a risk of cracks or rupture in the rear-axle mounting housing under poor road conditions or repeated impacts, which could lead to loss of control or an accident.
  • Authorized dealers will inspect the left and right rear-axle mounting housings and will reinforce or replace components as needed at no charge to owners.
  • Launched on July 15, 2025, the campaign remains active indefinitely under Profeco oversight, and Renault reported no related incidents in Mexico as of July 17, 2025.
  • Owners will be contacted by email and can verify inclusion via renault.com.mx/servicio-retirada.html or reach Renault at 800 505 1516 and relaciones.clientes@renault.com to schedule service.
