What can go wrong

At a recent 24 hour race at the Nurburgring Circuit it was identified that the clamping force/torque on the centre wheel locking components is incorrect. If the vehicle is used under racing type conditions it is possible that the centre locking device could undo which if not identified could lead to a wheel detachment.

The fix

Recall all the affected vehicles to check the centre locking components and replace them 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.
