Concern

Seat adjuster concern

Defect, as DVSA words it

The driver and front passenger seat longtitudinal adjuster latch spring may weaken and fail to lock the seat in the selected position. This could affect the drivers control of the vehicle and/or passenger safety.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall affected vehicles and check the effectiveness of the adjuster latch spring. Fit a new seat base in cases where the spring is found to be defective.

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. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
