What can go wrong

Due to a fault in the soldering process of the lighting switch circuit board it is possible that the solder on the lighting circuit switch can crack as a result of temperature changes during production. This can result in the lights or turn signals failing totally or blinking/flicker.

The fix

Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the switch and if required replace the switch assembly.

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.
