What can go wrong

There is a risk the passenger airbag mounting bolts are incorrectly installed which can lead to the airbag not correctly deploying. If a heavy front end collision occurs the passenger could sustain additional injury.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check for the presence of the bolts and if missing fit new one(s).

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.
