Concern

Possible detachment of propellor shaft

Defect, as DVSA words it

On vehicles fitted with the ZF S5 42 gearbox the output flange nut may loosen. This could result in detachment of the propellor shaft.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of a lock washer to prevent loosening of the output flange 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.
