Morning Everyone, I would like to give you an update.
COMMUNICATION
Constant quality controls revealed that, on MY 2016-18 Astra equipped with the combination of both a diesel engine & manual transmission, if the brake pedal is applied slowly and constantly, the customer might experience a reduction in braking power and an extended pedal travel. However, under general circumstances, including emergency braking, the system operates as designed.
We have already started to contact customers and the “MY Brand APP” will be updated in the week of December 17th to reflect that a campaign is pending for affected vehicles.
So to clarify:
• All LHD and RHD MY 2016-18 Astra equipped with the combination of both a diesel engine & manual transmission are affected
• We are in the process of preparing & deploying the related campaign in all European countries where the Astra is being sold
• The “MY brand APP” will reflect this open campaign in the course of the week from Dec 17th onwards

You have announced a product safety recall concerning the Astra. What is the problem?
Constant quality controls revealed that on MY 2016-18 Astra equipped with the combination of both a diesel engine and manual transmission, in cases where the brake pedal is applied slowly and constantly, the customer might experience an extended pedal travel and reduction in braking power.
If pedal application is very slow and constant, the brake system creates no pressure during the full pedal travel. However, under general circumstances, including emergency braking, the system operates as designed.
Important Information: If you feel that the pedal is not responding correctly, please remove your foot from the brake pedal and reapply firmly.
Is my vehicle safe to drive?
Yes your vehicle is safe to drive. The brake system operates as designed unless (in affected vehicles) the brake pedal is applied with gentle and constant pedal force. By notifying customers of the potential issue and providing guidance how to respond if the brake pedal does not perform correctly we are satisfied that the vehicle is safe to drive.
To address this issue we have decided to launch a two step proactive action of all of the affected vehicles.
- Step 1: Which should be completed immediately – Check braking system and replace the fluid in the system.
- Step 2: Upon subsequent notification, replace all affected components.
Both Steps 1 and 2 will be carried out free of charge by any Opel/Vauxhall Retailer.
