Concern

Reduction in handling performance

Defect, as DVSA words it

On affected tyres an incorrect material has been used in the cap ply. When inflated this will cause an irregularity in the tyre form which should be noticed on fitting but if not the driver will notice a change in steering feel during motion.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Replace affected tyres.

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.
