What can go wrong

There is a risk that the secondary handbrake cable could become detached from the rear brake mechanism causing the handbrake to become ineffective.

The fix

Check that the handbrake cable is correctly located in the rear brake mechanism. If it is not a new cable will be fitted.

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.
