Concern

Directional control may be impaired

Defect, as DVSA words it

Rear suspension relay lever pivot joint bearings may corrode through ingress of water. This can cause stiffness in the bearings and if not attended to over a protracted period the resistance in the bearings can eventually lead to the joints failing and sagging of the suspension to the extent that it will allow the rear wheel cover to lower onto the rear tyre. Should this event occur the speed and possibly the directional control could be impaired.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the original relay levers with re-designed relay levers.

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.
