Concern

Ignition switch may fail

Defect, as DVSA words it

Electrical contacts within the ignition switch wear prematurely. This can eventually cause the engine to stall without warning.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Fit a new ignition switch.

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.
