Concern

Possible insecurity of steering gearbox

Defect, as DVSA words it

The steering gearbox securing bolts may not have been tightened in the correct sequence. This could result in relaxation of the retaining torque at the pinion end with a reduction in steering precision and the possibility of stiffness

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the affected vehicles and remove the steering box pinion end bolts one by one to check the condition of the threads Any bolt showing signs of thread damage will be replaced and in all cases the bolts will be retightened in the correct sequence

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.
