The defect

The thermal overload within the ABS control unit can interrupt the current flow to the ABS control unit. This would stop the ABS from functioning correctly and would illuminate the warning light on the dash.

The remedy

Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted in writing and the software for the ABS/ESC control unit that regularly checks the function of the unit will be updated.
