Stop-drive: A stop-drive order applies to vehicles that received a driving-ban notice (Astra H, Vectra, Signum). Only the VIN check shows whether your vehicle has received or must receive such a notice.

KBA publication of 11 February 2026, production period 19 Jan 2005–6 Nov 2017 for the campaign as a whole. The stop-drive order (“Stop Drive”) originally concerned vehicles in southern European countries; the KBA now lists the campaign with 8,990 vehicles in Germany. The KBA names “Astra” without a model series; it is listed here under “Astra H” (Astra J/K are not covered separately). The extensions 16105R and 17132R are separate campaigns – do not add the figures.

Stop-drive: A stop-drive order applies to vehicles that received a driving-ban notice. This mainly concerns the Astra H (2005–2014), Vectra and Signum (2005–2008) – originally in southern European countries; used cars re-imported to Germany can also be affected.

KBA publication of 11 February 2026. The KBA only gives the group period 2005–2017 for the campaign; the periods per model come from ADAC. The worldwide figure (about 900,000) also comes from ADAC – the KBA record gives no worldwide figure for 16105R (the base campaign 15712R gives 901,364). The stop-drive order originally concerned southern European countries; the KBA now lists the campaign with 8,705 vehicles in Germany.
