Concern

Fracture of seat legs

Defect, as DVSA words it

Some instances of fracture of the leg on Vogel seats have occurred on the coaches concerned.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Owners of potentially affected coaches will be contacted by AVE Berkhof and requested to examine the seat legs. Where they are broken or show signs of impending failure replacements will be supplied by AVE Berkhof. Where legs are intact a kit to reinforce

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.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
