Due to the improper installation of the left A-pillar trim there ia a possibility that the trim may become detached when the curtain shield airbag would deploy during a crash. If this happens the loose garnish could injure the LH seat occupant of the vehicle.

Inspection of the installation and repair if needed.

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.
