What can go wrong

It is necessary to reinforce the sealing of electrical connections for the steering system electro pump assembly. As under certain conditions the repeated entry of salt water into this connection could cause short circuits which may lead to a fire within the engine compartment.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have numerous checks carried out and repairs completed dependent upon what is found.

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.
