LDV DELIVER 9 Rear Brake Pipe Recall: Investigate Fluid Loss Separately from Pad Wear

If a DELIVER 9 arrives with reported brake fluid loss but the work list contains only a top-up and new pads, do not treat those items as proof that the issue is solved. A historical Australian recall concerns rear brake pipe leakage. Identify where the fluid is escaping before setting repair and purchasing scope.

The notice concerns a rear brake pipe, not friction-material thickness

REC-000833 states that a manufacturing defect may cause the rear brake pipe to leak brake fluid and reduce braking performance. [Official defect description][S08] Checking pad thickness or fitting new pads cannot replace addressing that leak.

The job card should separately record work on friction parts and findings on the rear brake pipe. This helps prevent “brake service completed” from concealing an unresolved hydraulic-line concern.

A restored fluid level still requires a cause for the loss

A top-up changes the level reading; it does not prove that the pipe no longer leaks. If leakage is suspected, the repairer should confirm its source and state before following manufacturer requirements. A normal braking feel on one occasion after topping up is not an inspection conclusion.

Not every reduction in brake fluid belongs to this recall. Actual assessment must establish both campaign eligibility and the specific findings on the vehicle.

Identify the rear brake pipe precisely before purchasing

The public notice says rear brake pipe without identifying the exact section or complete repair list in its main text. The repairer must establish the required component. The English name alone cannot determine a particular hose, rigid pipe length or universal connector.

Any additional brake-component concerns need separate evidence, rather than being included automatically in the pipe recall. The parts list should follow confirmed repair scope rather than assembling a complete set from the system name.

Scope and verification

This article interprets Australia's REC-000833／LDV2101, originally published on Feb 16, 2021 and updated on Feb 26. It is not a newly released event. The notice lists years 2019—2021 and 623 vehicles. Check each vehicle against the [official individual VIN attachment][V78]. The attachment is XLSX; do not construct a continuous VIN interval.

No public data were available for the exact pipe section, materials, work instructions, OE numbers or interchangeability. [To be verified] No individual VIN enquiry was performed. Use the VIN and local factory parts catalogue for compatibility; the local authorised provider should handle braking abnormalities and recall matters first.

For confirmed ordinary brake-line requirements, use the parts enquiry page.
