Concern

Malfunction of air bag

Defect, as DVSA words it

The wiring to the air bag control unit can chafe on the brake/clutch lever. This may lead to malfunction of the air bag unit.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Affected vehicles are being recalled to have the air bag wiring re-routed and fixed to the bulkhead. Any wiring found to be damaged will be replaced or repaired.

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.
