Concern

Semi trailer could uncouple

Defect, as DVSA words it

There is a possibility that the semi trailer may uncouple due to the locking pin in the fifth wheel's control handle being insufficient.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the serial number of the fifth wheel and where necessary fit a locking pin kit.

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 the reference DVSA lists is too short to match safely. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
