What can go wrong

The original software may generate excessive oscillation of the motorised throttle valve which in extremely rare cases causes the failure of its throttle stop. This results in the engine operating in safety mode with a possible reduction in braking assistance.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the ECU and either perform a download or replace the 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.
