Concern

Axle shaft may detach

Defect, as DVSA words it

Excessive axle shaft end play which can be identified by excessive noise and changes in vehicle handling could possibly if not detected lead to detachment of the axle shaft retaining clip and result in the shaft 'walking out' of the axle.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall all affected vehicle for the replacement of the axle shaft retaining clip by a modified replacement.

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.
