Concern

Power steering may be lost

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that the power steering pump drive belts could de-laminate and fail. Should this occur drive to the power steering pump would be lost likewise the assistance to the steering.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled vehicles will have the power steering drive belts checked and renewed should they be found to be within the affected batch.

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.
