Concern

Bench seat may move forward without warning

Defect, as DVSA words it

The beach seat base mounting screws may break when the bench is repeatedly repositioned to allow a flat load area. Should this happen a noise will be heard from the bench. In exceptional cases if the screw has broken this may cause a loss of protection during an impact.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the vehicle. A metal insert will be fitted between the seatback folding pivot and the mounting screw (left and right). Additionally the mounting screws (left and right) will also be replaced.

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.
