Concern

Front shock absorber may fail

Defect, as DVSA words it

There is a possibility that the bolts between the front shock absorber and knuckle have not been properly tightened. This may lead to breakage of the connection between the front shock absorber and the knuckle.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

On affected vehicles install new bolts between the front shock absorber and knuckle and tighten them to the correct torque and where necessary replace damaged 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. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
