What can go wrong

Due to an incorrect manufacturing process the resin film within the brake assist accumulator may become damaged. If use continues in this condition a crack in the diaphragm may occur resulting in the depletion of the nitrogen gas resulting in (1) delay of the brake assist function under rapid braking. (2) An increase in the required brake pedal effort when the engine is started following a long period with the engine stopped.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have the accumulator checked to identify whether or not it is one within the affected batch. Should this be the case the accumulator will be replaced with one of a modified type.

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.
