Concern

Instability and loss of directional control could occur

Defect, as DVSA words it

The TT proves to have a relatively narrow handling limit zone if extreme manoeuvres are undertaken at high speed which could lead in the worst case to a precise steering response to retain directional control. Instability and loss of directional control could occur. These characteristics have led to some customers objecting to the cars road behaviour. In an attempt to improve customer satisfaction the cars physical reactions are to be modified so the vehicles behaviour becomes more predictable at the handling limits.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled for modifications to the suspension settings and the addition of a rear spoiler.

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 the reference DVSA lists is too short to match safely. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
