Defect, as DVSA words it

1) The seat belt may jam following normal operation of the seat belt pretensioners in an accident. 2) The drivers airbag may deploy involuntarily.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the affected vehicles and:- 1) Replace the original seat belt buckle and its associated pretensioner control by new Autoliv components. 2) Upgrade the drivers airbag to the latest specification.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because DVSA lists none for this recall. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
