Concern

Third row passenger airbags may fail to deploy as intended

Defect, as DVSA words it

Affected vehicles have interior panels that may prevent the inflatable curtain airbags from deploying as intended. This could reduce the level of protection offered to third row passengers in the event of an accident.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Modify affected interior panels to allow the inflatable curtains to deploy as intended.

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.
