What can go wrong

It has been identified that due to the incorrect programming of the Brake Control Module there is a possibility that the parking brake may not be set automatically when the Brake Hold or Hill Assist System is deactivated by certain conditions for example the unfastening of the driver’s seat belt while the system is enabled. When this occurs the system is designed to deactivate the brake hold function sound a warning buzzer display a message in the instrument cluster and automatically set the parking brake. If this should occur and the transmission is left in a gear other than Park then the vehicle could creep forward or backward increasing the risk of a collision.

The fix

Recall all the affected vehicles and reprogramme the Brake Control Module with the new correct software.

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.
