Vauxhall vehicle fires one-off session

Inquiry

Vauxhall was too slow to begin a full investigation into fires affecting Zafira B models and too quick to attribute them to improper and unauthorised repair, say MPs on the Transport Committee.

Government response

The Transport Committee questions representatives of Vauxhall and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) about Vauxhall Zafira and Corsa fires and safety recalls, and how the automotive industry can best deal with vehicle fires.
