Concern

Unintentional operation of the master switch

Defect, as DVSA words it

The valve for pneumatic operation of the electrical main switch is so located that it is possible for the driver to operate the switch unintentionally. This could cause a total black out of the vehicle.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the affected vehicles for replacement of the pneumatic valve with a modified unit.

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.
