Model series BR 205.
Production dates
The affected vehicles were manufactured between 13 September 2018 and 6 November 2019.
Risk
The brake discs installed on the front axle may be too small (in diameter and thickness) and would not sit symmetrically in the brake calliper. As a result, the brake lining can wear out and a gap between the piston and the sealing ring can be formed, allowing brake fluid to leak out.This will impair the braking performance, increasing the risk of an accident.
