What can go wrong

Grease applied to the contact points inside the ignition switch may carbonize by heat which is generated from an arcing when the moving side leaves the fixed contact point. The carbonized grease can cause the switch to smoke and in the most serious case a fire may occur.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a new ignition switch.

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.
