This week, the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications issued a recall of some 13,898 Holden ZB Commodore 2017-2020 cars.Due to a manufacturing defect, the brake booster may fail. If this occurs, the stopping distance in the un-boosted condition would exceed the distance prescribed by the Australian Design Rule 31/03,” the department said.“The vehicle is not compliant with the vehicle standard 31/03-Brake Systems for Passenger Cars.
There are fears that 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 or other road users. The owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by General Motors Australia and New Zealand and asked to contact their local dealer to have the Electronic Brake Control Module software updated, free of charge.
