Concern

Engine may seize

Defect, as DVSA words it

Rear differential oild level may not be correct due to issue with filling procedure during production. This shortfall in filling could be approx 50% of the required amount. If oil level in rear differential is low the differential could become noisey and eventually seize.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall affected vehicles and check oil level. If the level is low the official advice is for the dealer to contact head office. This is a new model and a large percentage are still in manufacturer/dealer control.

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.
