What can go wrong

It has been identified that due to a possible non-conformity of certain seals on the vehicle’s body there is the possibility that water can enter the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The occupants should experience either wet carpets and or a possible damp smell. However the ingress of water into the cabin could affect the electrical operation of the airbag module which could lead to an unexpected deployment of the airbag.

The fix

Recall all affected vehicles to add additional sealant to the body interfaces and if required to replace any interior components damaged by the water ingress.

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.
