What can go wrong

It has been identified that the welds which secure the bonnet locking assembly may prove inadequate in use. This can result in difficulty closing the bonnet or failure of the lock to properly engage.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have a strengthening component fitted to the bonnet lining to ensure that the trigger cable remains firmly secured to the bonnet. In very rare cases and only if necessarythe bonnet will be 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.
