What can go wrong

The airbag system Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module may experience a front airbag and/or seatbelt pre-tensioner inadvertent deployment. An inadvertent deployment while driving could distract the driver and cause a crash without warning.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the ORC module. Note: Vehicles that had Safety Recall (manufacturer’s ref.M35 DVSA ref. R/2013/120) - Occupant Restraint Control Module Filter Circuit completed must also have the ORC module filter circuit removed. Due to issues with parts supply the recall of WG/WJ models is suspended however KJ models remain unaffected

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.
