Concern

Electronic parking brake may not apply

Defect, as DVSA words it

If the ignition key is switched from ON to OFF and the key removed within 0.5 seconds the parking brake may fail to automatically apply.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall affected vehicles and reprogramme the electronic parking brake module

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.
