Concern

Engine may stall

Defect, as DVSA words it

When a driver sequentially performs a quick gear shift down (high rpm 6th to 5th to 4th gear etc)during high speed driving (high engine load) the engine ECU can judge the engine to run in overrun condition. As a result to avoid engine damage the ECU will turn off the engine by stopping the fuel supply and closing the throttle.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to re-programme the engine ECU.

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.
