Westfield Calliper: Front Wheel May Lock
Recall Summary Westfield Calliper brake systems in 24 vehicles may have a loose securing screw on the pad abutment plate, which can damage the brake disc and potentially lock the front wheel. The manufacturer will replace the affected calipers with new ones using a bolt with locking compound to prevent the screw from loosening again. This recall affects vehicles distributed in the United Kingdom.
