What can go wrong

The original engine software may cause erratic operation of the motorised throttle body. This could in rare extreme cases cause the throttle stop to break. This will cause the engine to revert to limp home mode which possible may cause a reduction in braking assistance.

The fix

Install updated software in the engine ECU.

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.
