Holden vehicles across the country have been urgently recalled, due to a manufacturing defect.
Almost 14,000 Holden ZB Commodore 2017-2020 cars have been effected, with a chance “the brake booster may fail”.
The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications have issued the recall.
“If the brake booster does not operate as intended, it could increase the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users,” the statement reads.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the brake booster may fail. If this occurs the stopping distance in the un-boosted condition would exceeds the distance prescribed by the Australian Design Rule (ADR) 31/03,
“The vehicles is not compliant with the vehicle standard (ADR) 31/03-Brake Systems for Passenger Cars.”
Owners will be contacted by General Motors Australia and New Zealand and asked to contact their local dealer to have the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) software updated, free of charge.
