Concern

Towball came adrift from towbar

Defect, as DVSA words it

A combination of internal and external forces caused the towball to prematurely detach itself from the towball housing resulting in separation of the trailer from the drawing unit.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

All towballs and housing will initially be modified and then replaced with calibrated units at a later date.

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.
