What can go wrong

The air inlet door linkages to the Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning may detach become detached and depending on operating mode position cause unexpected severe condensation/fogging of the interior windows. At temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius where the linkage detaches in recirculation mode it may not be able to clear condensation/fog from the inside of the front windscreen or other windows which can restrict the driver’s field of vision and could lead to an increased risk of an accident.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and download the latest software to the vehicle. Additionally the actuator arm 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.
