Concern

Braking system may overheat

Defect, as DVSA words it

Vehicles built during the period covered by the recall may have been fitted with a brake servo which incorporates an out of specification seal on the output shaft. This could result in excessive drag on the brake pushrod preventing the brake

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of a supplementary return spring between the brake pedal and the brake servo housing.

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.
