Concern

It is possible to start the engine with the cab tilted and the vehicle in drive.

Defect, as DVSA words it

The starter inhibit signal can fail to communicate with the engine ECU. This results in the possibility that the engine may be started from the chassis controls with the cab tilted and the transmission in drive.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled vehicles will be fitted with an additional wiring harness which will prevent this occurring.

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.
