Concern

Pinion nut may loosen

Defect, as DVSA words it

For 5.10 type axle the pinion nut may over an extended period of time. become loose due to an undersized pinion shaft spline. This may cause the pinion flange to separate and in extreme cases the differential may seize.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

On affected vehicle check pinion nut for tightness and fit a locking plate to the nut to prevent nut movement.

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.
