Harbinger rewrote the remedy on recall 26V405, 28 August 2026

ShareWhatsAppFacebookXEmail

Owners of this vehicle were written to on 21 August 2026. The remedy was reworded on 28 August 2026, 7 days later, so the letter described the earlier version. Both versions are shown on this page. Back to the campaign.

CarsMultiverse/What changed

This is an independent copy of the official notice, kept so you can see what changed. CarsMultiverse is not a safety authority: to act on this recall, use the authority’s own version at NHTSA, or the official register for your country (linked at the foot of this page).


Between 28 August 2026, 06:10 UTC and 28 August 2026, 13:02 UTC, the text of the remedy (what the manufacturer will do about it) on campaign 26V405, filed by Harbinger, was replaced. The authority publishes one version at a time. This is both.

What changed

5 words were removed and 2 were added.

Removed from the earlier version

Dealers will replace the steering gear assembly bolts, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 10, 2026. Harbinger's number for this recall is REC-04-00003.

Added in the version now published

If this is your car

The fix itself was reworded. If this recall has already been carried out on your vehicle, it was carried out to whatever the instruction said at the time. If it has not been, book it - the repair is free either way.

A notice being edited is not by itself evidence of anything. Wording is corrected for ordinary reasons as well as significant ones, and we record that it changed without claiming to know why.

How we know

We re-read the wording of every campaign we hold on a rolling cycle and keep a dated copy with a SHA-256 of the text. This page exists because the hash we recorded on 28 August 2026 no longer matched the one we took on 28 August 2026. Nothing here is an interpretation of what the manufacturer meant; it is the difference between two files.
