What can go wrong

It has become necessary to check the front brake hoses and improve their protection. In extreme cases wear on the hose caused by chafing against the wheel arch could cause a brake fluid leak. The presence of which would initially illuminate the red warning lamp on the dashboard.

The fix

Recall likely to be affected vehicles and check the condition of the front brake hoses. If found to suffering a chafe situation the hoses will be changed. If not the hoses will be checked for orientation and fitted with an additional protective device.

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.
