Concern

An electrical short circuit may occur inside the ABS module

Defect, as DVSA words it

Affected vehicles might experience and electrical short inside the ABS control module. On the affected vehicles moisture can enter the ABS module electrical system. Over time the moisture can cause a short circuit. This could cause the ABS module to fail and in extreme instances increase the risk of a thermal incident inside the engine bay.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

On affected vehicles replace the Module printed circuit board with one which has additional sealing.
