Concern

Rear brakes may lock under light braking

Defect, as DVSA words it

In cold damp conditions the rear brake linings may swell and under light braking effort lock the rear wheels. This can adversely affect the vehicle's handling.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Fit improved specification brake linings.

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.
