Concern

Tyre may deflate

Defect, as DVSA words it

Some tyres may have suffered superficial damage when the vehicle was being transported. The front Left hand tyre may have localised damage on the tread or the inner side. The tyre may rip and deflate.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Carry out a visual check of the condition of the tyre in the affected areas and replace the tyre if 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.
