Concern

Possible insecurity of upper steering arm

Defect, as DVSA words it

The screws securing the upper steering arm may have been overtightened damaging the threads of the screws and the threads in the steering arm knuckle. In the worst case situation a loss of steering control could result.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Remove the screws from the steering arm knuckle and examine the threads on both components for damage. Fit new bolts in all cases and new steering arms when the threads in the knuckle are found to be damaged.

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.
