What can go wrong

There is a possibility that a seepage of brake fluid may occur at the union between the rear flexi hose and the metal brake pipes. This would eventually lead to the illumination of the low fluid warning lamp which if left would result in longer brake pedal travel and reduced effectiveness of the brakes.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that likely to be affected and check for seepage of brake fluid. If the brake fluid seepage is apparent the flexible brake hose and the associated metal brake pipes will be replaced.

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.
