What can go wrong

It has been identified that the rear brake caliper retaining bolts may become loose due to their being tightened to an insufficient torque.This would in the first instance; result in an unusual noise and in the most serious case detachment of the caliper which may result in the breakage of the brake disc.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have the near and offside brake caliper retaining bolts 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.
