Concern

Front suspension may fail

Defect, as DVSA words it

Metal swarf can be in the housing due to a nonconformity in production. This can lead to problems in the airbag system and in the worst case an unintentional deployment of the airbags. An unintentional airbag deployment can cause accidents.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the airbag control module.

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.
