Concern

The air conditioning system evaporator housing drainpipe may have been incorrectly manufactured

Defect, as DVSA words it

The drainpipe of the evaporator housing of the air conditioning system may have been incorrectly manufactured leading to water accumulating and dripping onto the airbag control unit.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Check the drainpipe of the evaporator housing. If found to be incorrectly manufactured the drainpipe must be modified and the airbag control unit replaced.

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, because the reference DVSA lists is too short to match safely. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
