Concern

Risk of fire

Defect, as DVSA words it

Water may penetrate into the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) connector. In the worst case water can enter the EBCM where a short circuit may lead to a risk of fire. Warning before the fire element could occur is: flashing warning lamp which will give sufficient warning for the vehicle to be parked safely or if nearby taken to the dealership for repair.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check if the water cowl fastening clip correctly seals the water channel and that proper sealing of the EBCM connector is ensured. If necessary the EBCM and/or the hydraulic modulator will 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.
