Concern

Possible loss of steering control

Defect, as DVSA words it

The steering box extension may have been omitted during build. In consequence the steering shaft could pull off the steering box when the cab is tilted resulting in loss of steering.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the affected vehicles and where required fit the extension to the steering box. At the same time new clamp bolts and nuts will be fitted to the steering shaft assemblies.

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.
