Concern

Brakes may apply without warning

Defect, as DVSA words it

Processing bores of the manually operated brake valves have been closed using balls. In individual cases it may occur that the balls are not secured properly in the housing and may come loose. For this reason the valves may bleed air and activate the parking brake or anti-jack knife brake.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check if an affected valve is fitted. For affected valves check the crimping is correct and fit caps to the valves where the crimping is not correct. Affected existing spare parts stock is to be returned. The vehicles supplied with new valves must also be checked and fitted with caps 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. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.

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.
