What can go wrong

A build up of corrosion adjacent to the front wheel bearing bore can cause the suspension upright to crack and ultimately affect steering control.

The fix

Recall affected vehicles and replace the suspension uprights with a new design where found necessary. Fit an additional cover plate to those uprights showing no visible corrosion.

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.
