Concern

The exhaust gas recirculation module cooler could leak over time

Defect, as DVSA words it

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Module cooler could leak over time

Remedy, as DVSA words it

The EGR cooler will be inspected on the affected vehicles and replaced if evidence of leaking is found.

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.
