What can go wrong

The software for the RSC is not to the correct specification and is unable to detect and mitigate a potential vehicle roll over condition. All other Stability Control Systems including Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) continue to function correctly.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the vehicle with the latest software.

Models and build dates

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.
