Concern

Headlights may fail

Defect, as DVSA words it

In some circumstances the headlights can switch off without warning which will increase the risk of an accident.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the Body Computer with new improved software.

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.
