What can go wrong

There is the possibility that air may have become trapped in the ABS hydraulic unit of the braking system caused by improper air bleeding during the factory brake fluid refill. In the most serious case this can cause increased brake pedal stroke and/or decreased braking force.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the hydraulic unit (ABS) and bleed the brakes.

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.
