Concern

Partial axle detachment

Defect, as DVSA words it

During manufacture the strengthening gussets fitted to the rear axle tie bar mounting brackets were not fitted. If not corrected the rear axle will partially detach resulting in excessive movement of the rear axle and the tyres fouling the body.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary fit strengthening gussets to the rear axle tie bar mounting brackets and correct any damage that has occurred to the rear suspension as a result of not having the strengthening gussets fitted.

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.
