Concern

Cracking of power steering hydraulic cylinder mounting bracket

Defect, as DVSA words it

The bracket which mounts the steering hydraulic ram to the chassis is a casting manufactured from an incorrect material. The bracket is too brittle and therefore proven to developing cracks which can give rise to steering difficulties.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Brackets on recalled vehicles will be checked for the serial number 3431/31 which indicates that the bracket has been made from the wrong material. If this is the case the bracket will be changed.

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.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
