Holden has issued its thirteenth safety recall notice this year for the Holden Barina and Holden Trax, making the latest recall for Holden more than any other brand in Australian automotive history.
The Product Safety Recalls Australia website announced that the Holden 1.6L TM MY 12 – MY15 Barina manual and the 1.8L Holden MY13 – MY14 TJ Trax manual are the two models affected.
The mentioned Barinas built between March 15, 2011 and July 2014 have been affected by the recall, while the TJ Trax models built between January 31, 2013 to June 1, 2014 have been recalled.
In addition, the MY14– TM Barina is also being recalled for models built between November 21, 2013 and November 25, 2013.
The recall is due to a wear condition in the ignition key cylinder actuator trigger which may allow the vehicle starter motor to crank the engine if the key is left inside the ignition key cylinder and in the OFF position, while the vehicle is parked.
If and when the vehicle is parked, the ignition key is left in the cylinder, the manual transmission is left in gear and the park brake is insufficiently applied, the vehicle may move unintentionally when the starter motor cranks the engine.
Holden will now recall around 9188 Barina and Trax models and 3116 Colorado SUVs.
Holden will write to all affected customers to notify them of required action.
