Launched: 4 January 2019
Issued by: VAUXHALL

Vehicles: 335 across the lines below

What can go wrong

The Central Door Locking (CDL) might unlock the doors while the vehicle is parked or the doors can only be unlocked with the mechanical key. This is caused by inadequate sealing allowing water ingress into the door connector

The fix

Seal both A-pillar areas above the door connectors with sealer to avoid water ingress to the door connector.

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.
