What can go wrong

Owner's Manuals with incomplete information about the restraint system were delivered. Warnings instructions and information for 'Proactive Passenger Protection System' 'Airbag System' and 'Transporting Children Safely' are missing from the Owner's Manual. Without correct instruction it is possible for someone to unknowingly put another in danger.

The fix

Notify the vehicle owners so a supplement can be be added to the Owner’s Manual.

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.
