What can go wrong

Brake pipe can vibrate and rub against the engine mounting. Prolonged rubbing can cause damage to the brake pipe and allow brake fluid leakage. Resulting in a reduction in braking performance.

The fix

Replace pipe on affected vehicles with a modified (longer and rerouted) brake pipe.

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.
