Concern

Poor adhesion of space saver spare wheel speed restriction label

Defect, as DVSA words it

On vehicles supplied with a space saver spare wheel poor adhesion of the speed restriction label could result in the label becoming detached.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the speed restriction label will be replaced.

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.
