Concern

Braking efficiency may be affected

Defect, as DVSA words it

It is possible that a brake fluid leak could develop on brake pipe unions of either of the rear brake calipers or rear brake cylinders. If this occurs then the driver will receive a warning in the form of a warning light illuminating on the instrument panel. However if the driver does not heed this warning the braking efficiency of the vehicle could be impaired and the stopping distance increased.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall all affected vehicles to check re-tighten the unions and if required replace any damaged/defective components.

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.
