What can go wrong

There is a possibility that the right hand airbag sensor is programmed with the wrong sensing direction software. This might cause the right hand side airbag not to deploy in case of collision to the right hand side.

The fix

All recalled vehicles will have the right hand side impact sensor replaced with the latest version.

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.
