What can go wrong

On a small number of S60 cars it is possible that secondary bonnet catch will not lock in the closed position correctly. If the bonnet is not closed correctly it is possible that the secondary bonnet catch will not secure the bonnet which could result in it opening unintentionally.

The fix

Recall the affected vehicle for inspection and adjustment to the lock if required.

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.
