What can go wrong

The engine pistons may not be according to specification leading to oil entry in the inlet circuit. In the most serious case this may cause an increased engine rpm for a few seconds possibly resulting in a total engine failure.

The fix

Perform a test of the engine to establish if the pistons are to specification. Where necessary the engine will be replaced.

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.
