Concern

Parking brake may be ineffective

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that due to a production non conformity in one of the electric parking brake cables the brake may not hold the vehicle securely on a steep gradient when the parking brake is applied. This will be accompanied by the illumination of the warning lamp and a message saying parking brake faulty on the multifunction screen.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled vehicle swill have the conformity of the cables checked and replaced as necessary.

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.
