What can go wrong

There is a possibility that a strut top mounting bearing could be damaged when a high load is applied to the strut such as when the vehicle is driven over a large bump. If this occurs there could be abnormal noise when driving on uneven roads or when turning the steering wheel. If the vehicle continues to be operated the upper side of the strut rod could separate causing a loss of vehicle stability which could increase the risk of a crash.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the strut mounting bearings with improved ones. If a strut mounting bearing is found to be damaged the dealer will replace the strut and front suspension support sub-assembly with a new one.

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.
