Concern

Second axle lower spring arm concern

Defect, as DVSA words it

In some cases fitment of nylon thrust washers may allow excessive lateral movement of the second axle suspension lower spring arms. This could loosen the fixing bolts at the spring eye bracket and affect the steering control.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Fit an extra support bracket at the spring eye bracket and new thrust washers.

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.
