What can go wrong

The seat belt fixings may be loose at the frames on both front seats. Should these fixings come adrift the effectiveness of the seat belt will be reduced in the event of an accident.

The fix

Recall the affected vehicles and check the torque of the belt fixing retaining bolts on both front seats retorqueing if required.

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.
