What can go wrong

There is a possibility that an oil plug located on the side of the engine may not be properly tightened. An engine oil leak could occur that could lead to a certain amount of oil hitting the ground.

The fix

The remedy involves tightening the engine oil plug to the correct torque.

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.
