What can go wrong

The possibility exists that the electronic parking brake (EPB) may apply unintentionally which can result in the vehicle decelerating and in extreme cases cause the rear wheels locking up.

The fix

Recall likely to be affected vehicles and replace the electronic parking brake module on those vehicles equipped with the AF level of module with one of a later level. Additionally add a link lead and wiper motor suppression module.

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.
