Concern

Possibility of the throttle binding

Defect, as DVSA words it

Binding of the throttle lever may occur due to the possibility of white corrosion.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

The affected vehicles are being recalled for replacement of the zinc coated bushing in the throttle lever with a nickel coated version.

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.
