What can go wrong

The front seat belt webbing may jam in the belt guide loop. This may affect the operation of the belt. As a result the risk of injury may possibly be increased in the event of a collision.

The fix

On affected vehicles remove the spacer ring and install an additional slide element for the seat belt guide to prevent jamming.

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.
