What can go wrong

The engine bay insulation for right hand drive vehicles equipped with 2.0 l diesel engine (M9R) engine may have insufficient clearance from the turbocharger. In extreme cases this may cause the insulation to smoulder due to the high temperature of the turbocharger.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit an additional bracket to position the engine bay insulation away from the turbocharger.

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.
