What can go wrong

It is possible that the parking brake cable may not be properly located in the rear brake shoes parking brake operating lever. It is therefore possible if the cable is not secure that the cable may become loose during driving which will result in the failure of the handbrake if not rectified.

The fix

Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required secure the cable.

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.
