What can go wrong

Brake pipes fitted to the ABS unit may not have been fitted to the correct port. During heavy braking conditions this may cause under braking. It is also possible that the ESP may malfunction/fail to work which may cause under/over steer.

The fix

Affected vehicles will be recalled to check brake pipes are fitted correctly to the ABS unit. Where necessary the brake pipes will be 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.
