Concern

Emergency Valve may malfunction

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been determined that the external emergency valves may malfunction. The issue is caused by an excessively large bore diameter in a component of the door control valve. Because the diameter lies outside the specified tolerance (0.74 mm instead of the required 0.65 mm) compressed air flows back faster than the system can vent. Consequently the pneumatic self‑holding mechanism does not release and the door can only be opened if the internal emergency valve is actuated first. If the external emergency valve is actuated first the defect may prevent the door from opening. In an emergency this could hinder the evacuation of passengers by rescue services.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Remedy is to replace the door control valves on all doors on affected vehicles.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
