What can go wrong

It has been identified that on affected vehicles the roll over protection system securing bolts may either be loose or not fully tight. In this condition the roll over protection may not be fully effective in the event of a roll over occurring.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have the protection units checked for the correct number of securing bolts with bolts being installed as necessary. In addition all securing bolts will be checked to ensure that they are tightened to the correct specification.

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.
