What can go wrong

Water entering the rear doors may enter the electric window motor causing the mechanism to malfunction. In the long-term the presence of water may cause a short circuit in the motor leading to localised heating of the door panel.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit additional protection on the rear electric window motors.

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.
