Concern

Brake pipe chafing

Defect, as DVSA words it

Brake pipe routed along by battery on right hand drive models with air conditioning may rub into battery causing an acid spill. This could result in damage to the brake pipe and a loss of braking efficiency.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Examine the brake pipe and battery casing for damage and reposition brake pipe. Renew brake pipe and/or battery if necessary.

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.
