What can go wrong

The weld securing the tailgate struts may not be strong enough to support the tailgate in the long term and may detach. If this happens the tailgate may not remain in the open position.

The fix

In the event of the weld not meeting conformity the tailgate must be replaced.

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.
