Concern

Axle may displace

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that during production on a number of vehicles the leaf spring of the front axle has been fitted the wrong way round. In the event that the spring should break there would be a reduction of the positional control of the front axle which is afforded by the second leaf eye wrap.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled vehicles will be checked for correct orientation of the front springs which will be corrected if found not to be in compliance.

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.

Daf Trucks XF in the other registers

This site holds seven national and European registers. Daf Trucks XF is named on 1 European notices. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.

Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Daf Trucks elsewhere in this register

Daf Trucks is named on 56 notices in the copy of the DVSA’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
