What can go wrong

It has been identified that due to the formation of rust between the manual control shaft and the gear inhibitor switch the transmission may not move to the park position even though this may have been selected. As a result it may be impossible to start the vehicle additionally the vehicle may move unexpectedly whilst in park if the parking brake has not been applied.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have the relevant components cleaned and fitted with a protective cover.

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.
