What can go wrong

Steering assistance may be lost because the power steering tensioner pulley material is not to specification. The pulley may fail and cause a loss of drive to the hydraulic pump.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the power steering tensioner pulley.

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.
