What can go wrong

The left and right side window airbags were manufactured with incorrectly manufactured airbag inflator initiators that may not ignite when a deployment voltage is provided to the initiator. As a result vehicles may experience a non-deployment of the window airbag during a crash event warranting an airbag deployment.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the left right or both window airbags as instructed on all involved vehicles.

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.
