What can go wrong

It has been identified that due to a manufacturing issue the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Actuator Control Unit may have contamination within it. When in use the contamination particle can migrate within the ABS unit and become trapped in a valve. In this condition the ABS may not operate as per design intent in the most serious case when the ABS is activated under certain unusual driving conditions the customer may experience wheel lock and the vehicle’s dynamic behaviour would be adversely affected.

The fix

Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the ABS control unit and where necessary replace it with new component.

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.
