What can go wrong

The lower fastening brackets which secure the body to the chassis are not manufactured to specification. As a result the brackets may fail and render the body not fully secure.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the body securing brackets with ones manufactured to specification.

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.
