Concern

Fuel leak may occur

Defect, as DVSA words it

The fuel tubes are not earthed correctly. If an electro static discharge occurs on the fuel tubes it may cause a pin size hole in the fuel tube and a subsequent fuel leak. If the vehicle is stationary at traffic lights this could cause a pooling underneath the vehicle which could cause the road surface to become slippery and a possible danger to two wheeled vehicles.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and install a new conductive clip to the fuel and brake tube bundle and attach it to the vehicle body.

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.
