Concern

Central hinge in rear seats may fail under load

Defect, as DVSA words it

In the event of heavy breaking such as an emergency stop or an impact with heavy luggage in the boot the rear seats central hinge may break. There would be no prior warning to the customer. In extreme circumstances may cause the luggage to enter the passage compartment.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a reinforcing bracket.

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.
