What can go wrong

In a certain number of Insignia B - Model Year 18 the outer rear seatbelts might be incorrectly routed at anchor point. In the event of a frontal crash this may lead to a higher load than the belt system is designed for or it may allow the passenger to slip through under the seatbelt.

The fix

Vauxhall Authorised Repairers are instructed to check the seatbelt and change the routing if necessary on all affected vehicles.

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.
