FIAT announced a problem with the MULTIPLA - RHD WITH REAR DISC BRAKES affecting a total of 2,278 vehicles.
It may be possible for the handbrake cable to foul the rigid brake pipe at the right hand rear suspension arm. In time this could lead to wear of the rigid brake pipe and as a consequence there maybe a loss of brake fluid and longer stopping distances. Vehicles built from 04/01/2002 to 02/28/2003 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the routing of the handbrake cable and fit rubber pads to the rigid brake pipe to prevent fouling.
Vehicles with the following identification numbers are affected:
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should

who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
