Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Certain Renault vehicles equipped with ESP may experience a partial loss of ABS functions for 3 to 5 seconds after braking begins due to an internal leak in the ESP isolation solenoid valve. This could temporarily reduce directional control and ESP function when braking activates the anti-blocking system, though normal braking without ABS activation remains unaffected. The vehicle's functions return to normal once the brake pedal is released.
The affected vehicles are Renault Espace IV, Vel Satis, and Laguna II models equipped with ESP that were either manufactured between August 31 and September 15, 2007, or repaired with a replacement hydraulic block between August 7 and December 12, 2007, at the Sandouville factory in France. The importer has taken voluntary corrective action, though the source does not specify what remedy consumers should pursue.

The product poses a risk of injuries because there is a possibility of partial loss of the ABS functions after 3 to 5 seconds of setting due to an internal leak from the ESP isolation solenoid valve. This could result in partial and temporary loss of directional control of the vehicle and the ESP (electronic stability) function if braking is accompanied by activation of the ABS (wheel anti-blocking system). The ESP function sets the ABS to ensure the functioning of the wheel(s) which corrects the vehicle's trajectory. Functioning returns to normal when the brake pedal is released after braking. The conventional braking function (i.e. with no activation of the ABS) is not affected.
