Concern

Internal body joints/ fixings may not be torqued to specification

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that certain internal body joints or fixing may not have been torqued to the correct specification. If not torqued to the correct specification then the joints/fixings may loosen over time. This could affect the vehicle's integrity if involved in a collision.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall all the affected vehicle to check and if required torque certain internal body joints and fixings.

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.
