Concern

Brake circuit may leak

Defect, as DVSA words it

Under certain circumstances a brake pipe may chafe on the turbo charger air intake securing clip. In extreme situations the wear caused could lead to leakage within a brake circuit and the illumination of the red brake warning light.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled vehicles will be checked for the chafe condition and if necessary the turbo air intake securing clip will be relocated. The affected brake pipe will also be changed if it displays any sign of wear.

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.
