What can go wrong

Subject vehicles are equipped with incorrect engine oil software leading to the oil temperature not being detected over a certain threshold. This could lead to the oil pan deformimg due to high engine oil temperatures which in turn could lead to oil loss onto the road surface.

The fix

The remedy involves reprogramming the engine ECU which will give the driver a timely warning regarding possible high oil temperature.

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.
