The following information is from Driving Standards Agency:

Driving test candidates warned on vehicle recalls...

Some vehicles are being recalled by manufacturers and can't be used for driving tests until they've been checked and fixed if necessary.

A vehicle can be recalled by the manufacturer if it has a known safety fault.

There has been a worldwide recall of some vehicles because of concerns about potentially faulty passenger airbags. DSA has published a list of affected vehicles and information about what to do if you're affected.

Never seen anything come up in it, even on cars that have a "safety recall carried out" sticker under the bonnet.

I've a sneaky feeling that the alterations to the ABS\Airbag lamp RfR's will be linked to this too: ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/automotive/technical-harmonisation/regulatory-framework/index_en.htm
