Concern

Parking brake may not release fully

Defect, as DVSA words it

On Some i30 (GD) vehicles fitted with a manual transaxle after applying the parking brake it may not fully release after releasing it. This is due to corrosion where water is entering into rear caliper.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

The parking brake mechanism must be inspected if it is free of corrosion a new seal must be fitted and then the cable lever kit must be replaced. If corrosion is visible both rear brake calipers must be replaced.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
