What can go wrong

Incorrect software in the engine control module can lead to malfunctions of the automatic transmission that could affect vehicle emissions. There may be no communication of the defect to the driver (MIL) and the defect would not be visible to a scanning diagnostic tool during servicing. There is no known concern affecting the safety of the automatic transmission in relation to this campaign but vehicle emissions may not be to the manufacturers specification.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and reprogram the Electronic Control Module with latest level software.

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.
