Concern

Kingpin bed plate may fail

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified during trials that in situations of extremely heavy use it may be possible for a crack to develop in the sem-i trailer bed plate just ahead of the king pin. If a crack does develop and is ignored then ultimately the risk exists that the king pin could be torn away.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

The subject area of the bed plate will be modified as necessary.

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.
