The fault could cause the brakes to deteriorate, according to the manufacturer.


The recall notice, lodged with the Department of Infrastructure, says: “The brake fluid reservoir cap may provide insufficient ventilation to the brake fluid reservoir.



“This could cause a reduction in the vehicle’s braking ability.

“Reduction of braking performance may increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.”
