What can go wrong

The front seats are equipped with lap and shoulder belt pretentioners. In certain head on or rear end collisions the lap belt pretentioner will deploy but not lock in the loaded position. This can increase the risk of injury when the conditions are met. Parts for the recall will not be available until October 2015.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace both front pretentioners with lap belt.

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.
