What can go wrong

There is a possibility that the steering column cowling may move out of alignment causing the ignition switch to foul on the steering cowling and possibly stick in the start position.

The fix

Recall affected vehicles and check and where necessary replace the steering column clamp. The cowling unit is replaced on all vehicles recalled.

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.
