Concern

Front suspension arm mountings - failure of weld

Defect, as DVSA words it

There is a possibility that corrosion may be present near the welds for the front suspension arm front mountings on the front cross member.Should this be the case in time this could lead to noise whilst driving and the possibility that the weld could fail. Failure of the weld may lead to loss of vehicle stability.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled vehicle will be checked to ascertain whether corrosion is present near the front suspension mountings. If this is found to be the case the front cross member will be replaced. If corrosion is not present a front cross member strengthening kit will be fitted.

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.
