What can go wrong

The turbo chargers fitted to the affected vehicles may not be manufactured to the required standard. The result of one or both of the turbo chargers failing is rough running and lack of power. In the most serious case there is a possibility that fire could occur.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the turbo chargers.

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.
