Concern

Modification of handbrake lever

Defect, as DVSA words it

Vehicles with manual transmission having been parked on an incline with the handbrake on and the vehicle out of gear may sometime later roll away. Due to the brake components contracting as they cool.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall likely to be affected vehicles and replace the automatic adjuster with a manual system.

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.
