Cracks in the casing of the steering column could lead to fatigue rupture of the casing. This could lead to the controls under the steering wheel (indicators, lights, wipers) becoming jammed and difficult to operate. In case of rupture due to bending in the event of an impact, it could affect the steering.
The recall concerns vehicles manufactured between 8 November 2016 and 9 December 2016 inclusive.

What the owner should do?
If you read about a recall that you think may affect your car, you should make immediate contact with a dealer or workshop that’s been officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details.
If you wish to know more about eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accidents damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), then we suggest going to HPI-Check.
