What can go wrong

The seat belt buckle fitted to the second row rear seat/s may have been damaged during the production process at the supplier. In the event of an impact the seat belt buckle strap could fail and not restrain the occupant correctly.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the batch numbers and where necessary replace the seat belt buckle.

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.
