What can go wrong

It has been identified that on a certain number of 2007 model year vehicles the front lower suspension control arms might fracture near the bushing due to a production deviation during the welding process. The control arm may then lack rigidity; which may impair driving stability. In the most serious case the driver may loose control of the vehicle.

The fix

Subject vehicles will have the control arm welds checked and replaced as necessary.

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.
