The software for the communication of immobilisation data between the MCU (Motor Control Unit) and the BCM (Body Control Module) could be defective. As a result, from a stationary position on a slope, the vehicle could move in the opposite direction until the driver uses the brakes and stops the vehicle. This increases the risk of an accident.
The Opel Astra L vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 6 March and 9 August 2023.
