What can go wrong

There is a possible issue with the security of the lower seat belt mounting bolt which could cause it to loosen. If this were to occur then the bolt could ultimately fully unwind and detach. This could result in the occupant not being restrained by the seat belt in the event of a collision.

The fix

Recall all affected vehicles and replace the lower seat belt mounting bolts.

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.
