Concern

Possible reduction of braking effort

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that during production the front brake back plate retaining bolts may not have been tightened to the correct torque. Should the vehicle continue to be used in this condition the bolts may work loose and fail. In the worst case this could result in the front brake assembly detaching from the axle breaking the air line causing a loss of braking effort at the affected wheel station and an increase in stopping distance.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled vehicles will have the subject bolts checked for correct torque. If found not to be at the correct torque the bolts will be 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 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.
