Vauxhall is urgently recalling a number of Corsa supermini and Adam city car models registered since February 2014, for extended safety checks.

These vehicles may have been manufactured with a steering system part that did not meet specification and should not be driven prior to inspection.

This is in addition to the vehicles registered since May 2014 that have already been communicated.

Vauxhall is contacting customers via a number of channels – If their car is affected, the customer will also be automatically contacted by letter from Vauxhall using the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (VOSA) recognised recall process utilising DVLA registration information.

Owners can find out if their vehicle is affected by visiting www.vauxhall.co.uk/recall.html and following the instructions on the website, or by calling the Vauxhall customer assistance line on 0800 026 0034 (09:00 to 19:00 Monday to Friday and until 17:00 at weekends) or The AA on 0800 553 388 (07:00 to midnight 7 days per week).

The company first became aware of the condition during routine quality controls at the vehicle production plant.
