Renault SA says it began in December to recall 15,000 diesel-powered vehicles to recalibrate their electronic engine control units.

The company says the update also has been applied to new vehicles produced since the beginning of September. The recall involves the dCi110 diesel and reportedly focuses on the Captur small crossover vehicle.

Renault reiterates that a separate offer to update software in as many as 700,000 unidentified diesel-powered cars later this year will be a voluntary program and is not necessary to make those vehicles compliant with current emission regulations. 

The tweak aims to bring nitrogen oxide emissions under real-world driving conditions into closer alignment with levels measured in government-sanctioned laboratory certification tests.
