What can go wrong

It is possible for the wheel balance weights to foul the left front brake hose and/or the ABS wheel speed sensor and/or the brake pad wear warning sensor.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit stick on wheel balance weights in place of the clamp on weights. A handbook supplement will also be produced stating the requirement for stick on weights.

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.
