Concern

EGR valve pipe may fail

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve pipe may fail/break. This will allow hot exhaust gases to escape and potentially damage component in the surrounding area.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall all affected vehicles and replace the EGR valve pipe.

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.
