Concern

Risk of fire

Defect, as DVSA words it

The starter motor cable may be incorrect in the 3.0L diesel engine specification vehicles. As a result it can contact the right hand engine mounting and abrade the insulation and expose the wires. The driver should notice warning lamps engine stalling melting of plastic components and smoke from under the bonnet. In extreme circumstances a fire could develop.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the condition and routing of the starter motor cable. Where necessary the cable will be replaced and/or the cable rerouted.

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.
