What can go wrong

Poor heat treatment to the camshaft gears may cause the teeth to break off and fall into the timing gear causing the engine to stop suddenly. This could increase the risk of collision.

The fix

Recall the 1102 vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the camshaft and timing gear.

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.
