What can go wrong

Affected vehicles may have struts with a non compliant internal component. This may prevent the struts from maintaining the tailgate in the open position.

The fix

Non compliant struts are determined by using manufacturer test methods. If replacement is required both struts 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.
