What it said before
Nothing has changed while we have been watching. We last read the wording of this campaign on 17 September 2026, and it matched the copy we already held.
That copy hashes to 241d820cb27e7f480ab15b7249a43c48…, so if it is ever edited the change is provable rather than a matter of memory.
This is one of 583 notices in the record whose component field names service brakes, hydraulic. Across that group the median wait before owners were written to was 37 days.
Last checked . No change has been recorded in the wording.
The same recall in other countries
This campaign carries a manufacturer code that also appears in another country’s register, which means the same defect was recalled there too.
- Canada: Transport Canada recall 2025319, recorded 12 June 2025 (within a week of the American filing)
- European Union: Safety Gate alert SR/02503/25, published 11 July 2025, raised by Portugal (the Commission’s own page) (29 days after the American filing)
Matched on R10329, the manufacturer’s own number for this campaign, which is the only field the registers share. Exact match, nothing paired on brand and date. The two dates are adjacent instruments rather than the same one, so a difference of a day or two means nothing.
