Concern

Gearshift control cable concern

Defect, as DVSA words it

On some vehicles there is a possibility that the inner cable of the gearshift control cable may have been deformed through improper installation on the production line. In use the deformed cable may break due to over-stressing. This would result in the drivers' inability to select the gears.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall affected vehicles and replace any damaged gearshift control cables.

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.
