Concern

Loss of steering control

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that the durability of the lower trailing arm cannot be guaranteed. The arm can start to crack or fracture which if used on race track use or similar events can cause the arm to fail and result in loss of control of the vehicle.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall all the affected vehicles to replace the lower trailing arms with a more durable component.

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.
