Concern

Some types of rubber valves may cause the tyre to deflate or the valve may fail.

Defect, as DVSA words it

The using of alloy wheels in combination with some types of rubber valves may cause the tyre to deflate or the valve to fail.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled vehicles will have the rubber valves replaced with valves of metal construction.

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 DVSA lists none for this recall. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
