What it said before
Nothing has changed while we have been watching. We last read the wording of this campaign on 17 September 2026, and it matched the copy we already held.
That copy hashes to 1de6ed2b68bcb1f1f41d5711b616fe26…, so if it is ever edited the change is provable rather than a matter of memory.
This is one of 583 notices in the record whose component field names service brakes, hydraulic. Across that group the median wait before owners were written to was 37 days.
Last checked . No change has been recorded in the wording.

The copy quoted above hashes to 1de6ed2b68bcb1f1f41d5711b616fe26…. If the notice is reworded later, that fingerprint will not match, which is how a reader checks that the quotation was of the version we say it was.
