What can go wrong

It has been identified that due to the possibility of a non conformance during production the rear seat belt D-loop assembly may not be free to rotate. In the event of a medium to high severity impact this inability of the D-loop to rotate can limit the performance of the rear seat belt system

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have the rear seat belt D- loop assemblies checked for freedom of rotation. If freedom of rotation is not present a predetermined repair will be implemented.

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.
