Concern

Belt and tread may separate

Defect, as DVSA words it

The tyre tread may de-laminate. In the most severe of circumstances this can adversely affect the directional control of the vehicle.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the tyres that are likely to be affected and replace with quality assured product.

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.
