Renault, Dacia launch recall of factory LPG models in Poland

Renault Group has announced a recall in Poland affecting factory-fitted LPG vehicles due to a potential gas leak. The campaign covers certain Dacia Duster III units built between April 29 and October 26, 2024, as well as 2024 Renault Captur II models.

According to Poland’s Transport Technical Supervision authority, some cars may be missing a sealing gasket between the LPG valve assembly and the tank, leading to possible leakage and a distinct LPG smell inside the cabin or trunk. Owners are urged to schedule service appointments promptly.

Interestingly, the fix could benefit customers. Instead of only adding the missing gasket, Renault and Dacia dealers will replace the entire LPG tank in affected vehicles. Given that gas tanks are valid for 10 years from production, receiving a brand-new tank effectively extends the service life for owners by an additional year.

The issue emerges as demand for LPG vehicles in Poland continues to grow. By the end of August 2025, nearly 9,800 new LPG-equipped cars had been registered, 15% more than last year. Renault dominates this segment, accounting for over 9,400 units in the first half of 2025. Despite rising EV sales, LPG remains popular due to its low operating cost.
