Vauxhall Insignia B recall: Central door locking system may unlock the doors whilst vehicle is parked
Yes – some of these vehicles are being recalled
- What's wrong
- The Central Door Locking (CDL) might unlock the doors while the vehicle is parked or the doors can only be unlocked with the mechanical key. This is caused by inadequate sealing allowing water ingress into the door connector
- What to do
- Contact a Vauxhall dealer to book the free repair. Seal both A-pillar areas above the door connectors with sealer to avoid water ingress to the door connector.
