AdBlue & Haldex Pump Issues
The national portal for reporting and registering vehicle manufacturing defects. Faced with abusive repair bills, let's gather evidence to force manufacturers to take responsibility.
The AdBlue Scandal (SCR System)
Common defects: Urea crystallization, tank deformation, pump or injector failure (P20E8 fault codes).
Consequence: Warning message with a countdown blocking the engine start. A full replacement quote is often imposed.
Precedent: Under pressure, Stellantis had to implement a refund grid (up to 8 years). We demand that this rule applies to all manufacturers.
The Haldex Pump Trap
Common defects: Rear axle electro-hydraulic pump failure due to clogging of the mesh filter.
Maintenance Fault: Some manufacturers (including JLR, Volvo...) sold this oil as "filled for life," effectively prohibiting its replacement.
Consequence: Forced premature wear due to the lack of recommended maintenance. This is an actionable documentary design defect.
⚖️ Legal Procedure
The strategy is based on **Hidden Defects** (Manufacturing defects) laws. Recommended steps:
- Formal notice (Certified Mail) to the manufacturer's headquarters.
- Independent expert evaluation if the refusal persists.
- Small claims court filing or mediation.
Important: Do not repair before having documented proof or an agreement.
