Concern

Potential loss of steering control

Defect, as DVSA words it

A number of service exchange steering boxes may fail due to the incorrect position of a circlip of the bevel box which could lead to the input shaft and gear to detach resulting in the loss of steering control.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall affected vehicles and fit a new quality assured bevel box.

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.
