Concern

Parking brake may apply unintentionally

Defect, as DVSA words it

The brake pipe unions (Air Nipples) on the parking/hand brake system have been tightened above the specified torque setting. This could result in the unions failing and cause an unintentional deployment of the parking/hand brake.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall all affected vehicles where the unions will be replaced and the correct torque setting applied.

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.
