What can go wrong

In an accident where the rear seat belt tensioners are triggered the side pillar trim could protrude into the passenger compartment and cause an increased risk of injury for both the front and rear passengers.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the front retaining clips on both side pillar trims.

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.
