What can go wrong

One or more of the mounting points between the runner and the driver’s seat may fail.

The fix

On affected vehicles inspect the driver’s seat frame to determine if seat lifter links are damaged. If no damage is evident fit reinforcement brackets and ‘push nuts’. If damage is present to the seat lifter link replace seat frame. If damage is restricted to stabilizer bar then the bar will be repaired plus brackets and’ push nuts’ fitted.

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.
