What is this? Some Opel Grandland cars do not have the air deflectors that should be on the front cooling part. Without these, the car may make more carbon-dioxide than the law allows.

What's happening? Opel has found this problem and is fixing it. They will add the missing air deflectors.

Does this affect me? If you own or drive one of these Grandland cars in France, this problem could apply to you.

What should I do? Take your car to an Opel dealer or garage to have the air deflectors fitted. Ask your dealer or a mechanic if you are not sure.
