Recalls
Filed by the manufacturer with a regulator. A recall is repaired free of charge, whoever owns the car now.
A12/00470/22
The cap on the brake-fluid reservoir may not be able to provide proper ventilation enabling atmospheric pressure to be maintained within the reservoir itself. This may cause the vehicle to lose some or all of its braking capacity, increasing the risk of an accident. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
