According to the government website this is merely a Safety Recall, NOT a stop/drive; this is the advice from DVLA: Safety Recall: 'The definition of a safety defect is met, but the threat is not immediate or can be mitigated with ‘reasonable’ consumer action'. In short it suggests sensible precautions by the driver, but the car can be driven; especially to the dealership for repairs. Certainly, an inspection of the master cylinder fluid would be wise before every trip. If RichP6 is correct, then rather a lot of egg on Morgan's face. I wonder if whoever at MMC decided to 'up the anti' is now regretting that. Will heads roll?
As I understand it- there have been catastrophic- no warning - complete brake failures on a number of CX models...
Do you want to take the risk?
I don't take risks. Of any sort. But from what I am told, there has been only one brake failure (maybe 2. As the problem is a slow degradation of the seal, it is unlikely IMHO that a catastrophic failure will occur unless one does not check the brake fluid before every trip. Of course, that could apply to any car, no matter what the make. The crux is: is one insured? I will ask my insurance company tomorrow. If I am insured AND my brake fluid is ok, I will drive.
