Concern

Power assisted steering concern

Defect, as DVSA words it

Possible failure of low pressure power steering pipe connection with leakage of fluid and loss of power assistance.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall affected vehicles replace all high and low pressure oil supply and return pipes. Replace oil cooler and refill system with upgraded specification PAS oil.

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.
