Concern

Bonded windows may detach in a collision

Defect, as DVSA words it

In the event of an accident the windows bonded tie down rails and the super high roof (if fitted) could detach and increase the risk of injury due to the lack of adhesion of non-conforming paint.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and remove/install all bonded windows (excluding the windshield) and tie down rails and/or super high roof (if present) as well as repainting the corresponding bonding surfaces.

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.
