The software for the communication of immobilisation data between the MCU (Motor Control Unit) and the BCM (Body Control Module) could be defective. As a result, from a stationary position on a slope, the vehicle could move in the opposite direction until the driver uses the brakes and stops the vehicle. This increases the risk of an accident.
The Opel Astra L vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 6 March and 9 August 2023.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?
Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a Opel dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
If you wish to know more about the eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accident damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), in that case, we suggest going to this page.
