What can go wrong

In frequent stop/start conditions in snow and severely cold weather compacted snow/ice may build up on the inner face of the wheel disc. In extreme circumstances the snow/ice may strike and distort the metal pipe that connects to the rear brake cylinder. Impaired braking and a hydraulic fluid leak may result.

The fix

Fit a modified and re-routed brake pipe.

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.
