What can go wrong

It has been identified that the maximum load capacity for the load restraint hooks in the load compartment of the vehicle has been incorrectly written in the Owner Handbook. The correct load capacity is 500 daN and not the 625 daN as written. If the correct load capacity of 500 daN is not adhered to then the load hooks may not retain the load due to overloading. This could result in an unsecured load with the potential for loss of control of the vehicle.

The fix

Recall all affected vehicles to attach a load capacity label within the load compartment and install an additional amended page to the Owner Handbook.

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.
