Incorrect brake fluid might cause corrosion in the hydraulic ABS unit leading to a sticking valve and resulting in a longer brake pedal travel and a longer stopping distance, which may cause an accident, resulting in injuries to the passengers.
The recall concerns 2007 to 2010 model year vehicles, with VINs from 7 0 005553 to 8 0 266540 and from 9 B 261462 to A B 012397

What the owner should do?
If you read about a recall that you think may affect your car, you should make immediate contact with a dealer or workshop that’s been officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details.
If you wish to know more about eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accidents damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), then we suggest going to HPI-Check.
