Concern

Possible malfunction of engine management system

Defect, as DVSA words it

The engine management system could possibly continue to use the the last received data from the vehicle ECU. For example in the event of a datalink short the vehicle may not switch to limp home mode but continue to respond to the last received command from either the throttle or cruise control.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Re-programme the engine ECU (EECU).

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. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
