What can go wrong

It has been identified that the possibility exists that a disconnection of the handbrake cable may occur which can result in the handbrake becoming inefficient.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have the fitment of the handbrake cable to the actuating lever checked. If found to be incorrect the situation will be rectified. If the handbrake cable is found to be damaged it 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.
