Concern

Possible trailer detachment

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that in adverse conditions the securing pin of the coupling release handle can become unfastened due to an oversize drilling. Loss of the pin can result in the coupling not being securely fastened.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Operators will be sent a repair kit to secure the pin. In addition a work method advising as to the pre-driving checks that need to be carried out.

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.
