What can go wrong

It has been identified that there is a risk that the rack to subframe bolts have been overtightened with the possibility of the bolts and/or rack mounting points cracking/breaking. This could lead to noise/vibration or loss of steering accuracy.

The fix

Recall affected vehicles examine the steering rack mounting bolts. Renew the mounting bolts/nuts and replace the steering rack if the mounting points are cracked or broken.

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.
