Concern

Steering column universal joint and column support bracket concerns.

Defect, as DVSA words it

(1) The ball joint where the steering column double joint is centred can jump out of its socket. (2) The retaining plates for the ball joint in the upper universal joint in the steering column may work loose and obstruct free rotation of the column. (3) The steering column support bracket fasteners may not have been tightened to the specified torque.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

(1) Check the production date of the jointed steering shaft and fit a quality assured replacement where necessary. (2) Check the rivets securing the retaining plates. If the riveting is defective fit a new steering shaft. (3) Check the steering column support bracket fasteners for correct torque.

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.
