They are ordering the removal of the Renault Kardian Evolution from the streets, a car that has barely completed four months on the market.

Issue Is With The Rear Wheel Brakes of The Kardian Evolution
The news was confirmed by the UOL portal. According to them, the problem lies in the rear wheel brakes of the Kardian Evolution. It seems the wheel screws are not properly secured due to a production failure, which could cause the wheels to shift and even loss of steering. Just imagine the danger!

Renault did not waste time and has already called for a recall for models of the Kardian Evolution manufactured between March 15, 2024, and May 3, 2024. The involved chassis numbers range from J001446 to J007306, so if you own one of these, it’s best to rush to the nearest dealership.
Emergency Statement From Renault
Renault’s emergency statement was clear: “After an in-depth investigation, with local tests and analyses, it was found that due to a production failure, the rear wheel screws may exhibit insufficient securing, due to possible deterioration of the threads of the rear brake drums”. In other words, this is no joke!
The improper securing of the screws may cause a strange noise and shifting of the rear wheels, which completely compromises the vehicle’s handling. In short, this could lead to serious accidents.
Service Is Quick
Renault also stated that it will replace the rear brake drums and the front and rear wheel screws. The service is quick, taking about one hour and five minutes, and is free of charge. However, it is necessary to schedule an appointment at a dealership.
So, here’s a tip: if you own a Renault Kardian Evolution, don’t waste time and get the recall done as soon as possible. Safety first!
This situation highlights the importance of always paying attention to emergency statements from automakers. Renault acted quickly, but it is up to the owners to do their part and ensure their vehicles are in safe operating conditions. Here’s a constructive criticism: perhaps stricter inspections in production could prevent issues like this. Safety is never too much!
