What can go wrong

It has been identified that the TV will be viewable by the driver whilst the vehicle is in motion if the TV is being operated in the full screen position when the vehicle is stationary and a call through the in car phone system is either made or received and not ended prior to the vehicle being set in motion.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have the high level front display unit reprogrammed with a revised level of software thus ensuring that the TV screen is switched off whilst the vehicle is in motion.

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.
