Concern

Airbag and/or pretensioner may fail to deploy in a collision

Defect, as DVSA words it

The front impact sensor wire(s) may become detached during a crash event before the �impact signal� is recorded by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). This may affect deployment of airbags and/or operation of pretensioners.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

On affected vehicles the existing front end module wiring harness must be modified then routed and secured to a new location.

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 the reference DVSA lists is too short to match safely. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
