What’s wrong
Water may penetrate into the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) connector. In the worst case water can enter the EBCM where a short circuit may lead to a risk of fire. Warning before the fire element could occur is: flashing warning lamp which will give sufficient warning for the vehicle to be parked safely or if nearby taken to the dealership for repair.
The fix
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check if the water cowl fastening clip correctly seals the water channel and that proper sealing of the EBCM connector is ensured. If necessary the EBCM and/or the hydraulic modulator will be replaced.

How to check your vehicle
Use the official DVSA checker with your registration number to see if your exact vehicle is included. If it is, the manufacturer should have written to the registered keeper. The repair is free, even if you bought the vehicle second-hand.
