Concern

Steering arm securing nuts may not have been fully tightened

Defect, as DVSA words it

Failure of one of two steering arm attachment studs due to securing nut being incorrectly torqued. Continued use of vehicle with failed stud could lead to second stud failing and loss of directional control of the vehicle.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Contact all affected operators requesting them to carry out torque checks on the six nuts retaining the top steering lever and both bottom steering levers. Any nut/bolt found to rotate more than a quarter of one flat must be renewed.

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.
