Because of an assembly error, the brake lines on the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) unit may have been wrongly installed. In an emergency stop, this can lead to insufficient front axle braking with locked rear axle brakes, insufficient rear axle braking with locked front axle brakes and increased oversteering or understeering. This can undermine the traction control system (TCS).
