What can go wrong

The rear door child locks may deactivate when a door is slammed. There will be no warning that the child lock has gone from active to inactive.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the door child locks are to specification. If they are not they are to be replaced with ones that are to specification.

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.
