What can go wrong

In some circumstances the driver and passenger may experience consequent switching off of the instrument panel light and possible deactivation of other electronic systems such as the ABS and airbags. The concern is caused by loose connections at the ignition switch contact holder block.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the ignition switch contact holder block.

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.
