What can go wrong

The left and right airbag actuation has been swapped due to an incorrect connector assignment on the wiring harness. In a collision where the airbags are required to deploy the incorrect airbag could be deployed with the protective affect not being ensured.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and correct the pin assignment on the airbag control plug.

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.
