Concern

Roof light in overhead cab may become detached

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that the possibility exists that some of the screws which secure the rooflight may not have been tightened correctly. This in the worst case scenario may result in the roof light becoming detached.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled vehicles will have the rooflight securing screws checked and the correct torque applied. Where necessary the rooflight will be replaced.

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.
