What can go wrong

It has been identified that on affected vehicles a non conformity within the accelerator pedal assembly may cause interference and prevent the pedal from returning to its original position. This may result in the vehicle maintaining a degree of acceleration which can be overcome by firm braking.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have the accelerator pedal changed.

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.
