What can go wrong

The rear spoiler may detach at high speed due to high variance in temperature change aggressive car wash systems or use of racks as they may weaken the spoiler mouldings.

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.
