What can go wrong

Water ingress into the underbonnet vacuum electrovalves may cause a reduction in power assistance at the brake pedal. Malfunction of the electrovalves could also adversely affect the engine exhaust emissions.

The fix

Replace the three electrovalves as a precaution and install a protective shield over them.

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.
