Concern

The OBD software could misinterpret certain input parameters for the engine mangement system

Defect, as DVSA words it

During a service visit the affected vehicles have been updated with software that could misinterpret certain input parameters for the engine management system.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

The control units will be reprogrammed with an improved version of software.

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 DVSA lists none for this recall. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
