What can go wrong

A bolt securing lateral rods to the front and rear axles may become loose and cause a vibration through the steering wheel. These rods act as an anti tramp measure. If the bolt wears it can drop out allowing the axle to tramp and cause the steering effort applied by the driver to reduce.

The fix

Replace bolts on affected vehicles with modified version

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.
