Concern

Track rod could become detached

Defect, as DVSA words it

The dust covers which protect the track rod end ball joints may not seal correctly and allow the ingress of water and dirt. As a result the ball joint can wear and cause excessive play in the steering. In extreme cases the track rod could become detached with the consequence that the directional control of the vehicle will be affected.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled vehicles will have the track rod ends replaced with modified units.

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.
