What can go wrong

A manufacturing defect of a component within any of the four door locks could result in jamming of the internal mechanism which prevents the closing of any of the vehicle's doors or risk unexpected unlocking and opening of the doors.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary replace the affected door locks.

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.
