  1. Brake corrosion may reduce braking performance

    Reported August 28, 2012Model years 2008–2010DVSA recall R/2012/090349,884 vehicles affected

    Incorrect brake fluid may corrode the ABS module and cause gel to affect a valve, increasing brake pedal travel and potentially reducing braking performance. Dealers will inspect the fluid, replace it and the reservoir cap where specified, and update the owner's manual.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED
    Defect
    Incorrect type of brake fluid installed at production could cause internal corrosion of the ABS module. This corrosion can lead to a gel build up inside the module which may affect the closing motion of one of the valves. There will be no external loss of fluid or reduction in fluid level but it is possible the driver could feel excessive brake pedal travel. In some circumstances there may be reduced braking performance.
    Remedy
    Inspection of the brake fluid using a scan tool. Drain and replace the fluid and replace the brake fluid reservoir cap (All models except Captiva & Epica/Tosca). Erase ''DOT 3'' text from the customers Owner's Manual (All models except Captiva & Epica/Tosca). Add information regarding the use of DOT 4 brake fluid.
