Concern

Malfunction of clutch control may lead to brake failure

Defect, as DVSA words it

A malfunction within the clutch control may occur which if 1st or 2nd gear is selected it may not be possible to stop the vehicle using the service brake.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled vehicles will have the gear control unit replaced. Additionally following checking the clutch control unit may also require 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, 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.
