What can go wrong

It has been identified that the driver's airbag on some K12 Micras due to incorrect welding of the airbag module may not deploy in the event of a frontal impact. Thus potentially reducing the protection afforded to the vehicle's occupants.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have the subject airbag replaced.

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.
