Vauxhall In Recall Concerns.
Vauxhall has recalled a number of vehicles after concerns of sudden hand brake failure.
The Vehicle affected is the Vauxhall Corsa with registrations plates with a 59 or 10 identifier. The fault lies with the fitting of the handbrake cable. The cables supporting bracket could move under the body of the vehicle and as a result there could be a sudden loss of hand brake function. In a statement, Vauxhall said:
“There is a possibility that the handbrake cable end fitting could move within the supporting bracket welded to the under body of the vehicle. If this fault occurs, it might lead to a sudden loss of handbrake function at any time.”
This is the latest in a few recalls Vauxhall have issued. The Corsa was recalled in 1998 because of a possibility of fire risk, in 2008 for a loss of breaking function and for the possibility of a steering failure in 2007.
In addition, The Driving standards has issued a statement saying they will not be using the Corsa as a test car until the problem is rectified.
