What can go wrong

It has been identified that the intercooler has been improperly designed. This may allow the intercooler to come apart in use causing an improper mixture ratio of air/fuel in the diesel particulate filter. In the most serious case the particulate filter may ignite.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will be fitted with an engine intercooler attachment assembly.

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.
