What can go wrong

The driver’s airbag was manufactured with an incorrectly manufactured airbag inflator initiator that may not ignite when a deployment voltage is provided to the initiator. As a result vehicles may experience a ‘non-deployment’ of the driver airbag during a crash event warranting an airbag deployment which could increase the risk of injury.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the driver airbag unit (initiator included) with a quality assured unit.

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.
