What can go wrong

It has been identified that the potential exists for the centre rear seatbelt upper guide bracket to distort in the event of a frontal impact. This could result in the centre sear seat occupant travelling further forward than the design intent.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have the subject guide bracket replaced with one which incorporates a revised design.

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.
