Concern

Engine bay fires

Defect, as DVSA words it

Following several fire related incidents the manufacturer has decided to implement a number of precautionary modifications.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

1) Relocate exhaust heat shield and remove foam from beneath silencer. 2) Reloacate the retarder relay box. 3) Modify the retarder control system to prevent misuse and consequential overheating. 4) Review the routing of all electrical wiring in and adjacent to the engine bay. 5) Install an engine bay temperature warning device or an auxiliary cooling fan. 6) Fit twin alternators on request. 7) Modify the air pipe between the compressor and the air dryer.

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.
