What can go wrong

On subject vehicles there is a possibility that a wld on the rear axle may not be sufficient. In the most serious case this could cause a break in connection between rear axle and the body. This could cause difficulty in controlling the vehicle.

The fix

Owners of subject vehicles to be contacted by first class post (using DVLA records). Inspect subject vehicles and if fault found replace rear axle.

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.
