Concern

Inadvertent application of the parking brake

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that a number of the subject vehicles have been fitted with faulty Voss air distributor check valves which do not afford the prime mover parking brake system reliable protection in the event of the trailer air supply lines becoming holed or torn away. Should a trailer air supply line disconnect or holing situation occur there is the potential for the prime mover rear axle parking brakes to actuate causing the vehicle to slow down or in some cases suffer rear wheel lock with no driver input.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled vehicles will have the subject valve replaced with a quality assured item.

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.
