What can go wrong

It has been identified that the gearshift lever resting position may mislead drivers into believing the vehicle's transmission is in the park position when actually the it is still in a drive gear. This could result in the vehicle moving off without the driver being in the vehicle.

The fix

Recall all affected vehicles to replace the driver's door lock and update the software to introduce a drive away inhibition strategy.

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.
