Concern

Propellor shaft security

Defect, as DVSA words it

The gearbox output flange can come off the gearbox mainshaft whilst the vehicle is in motion and allow the propellor shaft to detach from the vehicle.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the affected vehicles and replace the original flange with a modified version which allows full tightening of the flange retaining nut.

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.
