Concern

Possibility of air filter fire

Defect, as DVSA words it

Possibility that the engine air filter element may be ignited by the ingress of burning material.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the affected vehicles and fit a modified rain cap which will include a fine mesh spark guard to the air filter.

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.
