    McLaren GT recalled due to braking issue

    The British grand tourer has come in for its third recall in Australia in the past three years, this time due to an ABS and ESC problem.

    The McLaren GT has been recalled due to a braking issue that can affect its anti-locking braking and stability control systems, which could fail as a result.

    It’s the third safety recall for the British-built grand touring supercar in the past three years, following a bonnet problem affecting 15 vehicles in September 2024, and a driver’s airbag issue involving 29 vehicles in March 2022.

    “Due to a manufacturing defect, the pipes to the rear brake system may have been incorrectly assembled. As a result, the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) may not operate as intended leading to a loss of vehicle control whilst driving,” said McLaren in its recall notice.
