Concern

Front damper lower mounting bracket may detach

Defect, as DVSA words it

There is a possibility that the front damper lower mounting bracket may detach due to insufficient welding and displaced damper may restrict steering action.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall affected vehicles and check that damper mounting bracket is butt welded on all three sides. If not replace bracket.

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.
