What can go wrong

It has been identified that it is possible that the threaded joints on the chassis of subject vehicles may not have been tightened to the prescribed torque. This may result in the screws becoming loose resulting in noises from around the vehicle. Should the screws detach steering control can become impaired.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have the subject joints checked to ensure that they are tightened to the correct torque.

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.
