Concern

Rear seat belt anchorage point not conforming

Defect, as DVSA words it

The rear seat belt anchorage points do not conform to specification which could in the event of a collision result in the insecurity of the seat belt.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall likely to be affected vehicles and upgrade the seat belt anchorage to the correct specification by the fitment of an additional bracket.

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 the reference DVSA lists is too short to match safely. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
