What can go wrong

A manufacturing defect in one of the components of the door locks could cause jamming of the internal mechanism and prevent the closing of one or more of the vehicle's doors. In rare cases the door could unlock and open unexpectedly.

The fix

On affected vehicles check and where necessary replace 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.
