What can go wrong

There is a possibility that the relay linked to the electrical circuit of the starter is out of specification. As such the relay might be blocked in a closed position. If this occurs there is a risk of the starter overheating and a theoretical risk of fire. Also if left in gear the vehicle could also start to move.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the starter relay.

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.
