Concern

Parking brake may apply inadvertently

Defect, as DVSA words it

During manufacturer of the manually operated parking brake valve some of the drillings were formed incorrectly. This concern may lead to cracks forming loss of air and the parking brake applying whilst the vehicle is in motion.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the make and date of manufacture. Where necessary replace the manually operated parking brake valve.

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.
