Concern

Stop lamps may fail to illuminate

Defect, as DVSA words it

Oil residue from the brake pedal bracket may contaminate the stop lamp switch and cause the stop lamps to fail.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Clean the oil residue from the brake pedal bracket and fit a new stop lamp switch.

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.
