What can go wrong

In countries where salt is used extensively on the roads the paint sub layer on certain springs produced over a specific manufacturing period shows very little resistance to corrosion. This can in exceptional circumstances cause a front suspension spring to break with the attendant risk that the spring could contact the tyre.

The fix

To prevent an occurrence of this type likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time a suspension cup will be fitted on each front side of the vehicle to prevent a failed spring from making contact with the tyre.

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.
