What can go wrong

It has been identified that the possibility exists that the sound insulator beneath the front seatbelt pretensioner may become damaged by the high temperature gas generated when the device is activated during a collision. In the most serious case should the insulator ignite a post-collision fire may ensue.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have the sound insulator removed from beneath the centre body pillars.

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.
