"Due to a manufacturing defect, the bonnet outer panel and inner frame may not have been bonded correctly," the recall notice read.

"As a result, the bonnet outer panel could detach due to vibrations whilst driving and/or at high speed."

The notice warned this could increase the risk of an accident causing "serious injury or death" to people in the Koleos, along with others on the road.

Owners are urged to contact their preferred authorised Renault dealer for a free inspection and, if necessary, repair.
