Important Information About the Takata Airbag Recall
Some Takata airbags installed in Vauxhall vehicles have been recalled and pose a serious safety risk. The airbag inflator can degrade when exposed to high heat and humidity, causing the airbag to explode and cause serious injury or even death.
Check your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to know whether your car has Takata airbag and is affected, and act quickly to schedule a free repair.
This recall is part of a global safety effort to remove defective Takata airbags from the road. Vauxhall is taking proactive steps to protect drivers and passengers by ensuring every affected vehicle receives the necessary repair.
If your vehicle has a recalled Takata airbag, follow the instructions to schedule your airbag replacement. All recall repairs are free.
Your safety and peace of mind remain our top priorities. Addressing this issue now helps ensure your vehicle continues to protect you and your loved ones every time you drive.
Stellantis UK has announced a Stop-Drive for some Vauxhall vehicles; owners of such vehicles should immediately cease using their vehicle when it is safe to do so.
Vehicles included in this Stop-Drive action, were already part of an ongoing comprehensive recall campaign related to Takata airbags.
Some of the Takata airbags installed in Vauxhall vehicles that are subject to the ongoing recall pose a serious safety risk. The airbag inflator can degrade over time when exposed to high heat and humidity, and in the event of an accident, the airbag can explode with excessive force causing serious injury or even death.
Whilst there have been no reported instances in the UK, Stellantis has decided to deploy a Stop-Drive order for all impacted vehicles. This decision underscores the Company’s unwavering commitment to customer safety.
All registered keepers of affected vehicles will be notified by letter. It is of paramount importance that the registered keepers of the affected vehicles who have changed either their address or contact details since acquiring the vehicle keep their information updated with the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency). This will ensure that we can reach them in a timely and efficient manner.
Customers can also check if their vehicle is affected and what actions are advised by using the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) check tool below. If impacted, they should register their vehicle to enable the processing of their repair at their authorised Vauxhall retailer as soon as possible.
If you are unable to register online, you can contact our Recall Helpline on 0800 917 9285.
Stellantis UK is mobilising its full network of suppliers, retailers and manufacturing plant to support this action and to ensure the fastest, safest and most convenient solution for each customer. If you have any specific mobility needs or requirements, please identify these when you speak to your retailer when booking your appointment. We have made a number of mobility solutions available to support customers impacted by this Stop-Drive.
Stellantis remains fully committed to acting swiftly, transparently, and responsibly in addressing this issue.
As part of the Takata Airbag Recall, a selection of our approved repairer partners will be hosting pop-up repair events between Friday 16th and Monday 19th of October 2026 to support affected Vauxhall customers.
