Concern

Inability to change gear

Defect, as DVSA words it

Due to insecure fitment of the pin in the gear shift control set there is a possibility that the pin could could fall out making it impossible to change gear.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Check the tightness of the gear shift pin if loose fit a new gear shift set. If the pin is tight a secondary locking arrangement will be fitted as a precaution.

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.
