What can go wrong

Some front right hand brake callipers were produced with an incorrect chamfer dimension. With an incorrect chamfer it is possible that the oil seal gets damaged and that a brake fluid leak occurs. If a leak occurs the driver will notice the illumination of the brake warning lamps.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the front right hand brake calliper.

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.
