Concern

Short-circuit may cause electrics to fail

Defect, as DVSA words it

It is possible for the wiring harness in the main switch panel to chafe on a bracket cut-out which could result in a short to earth. If a short circuit occurs it could result in the loss of various electrical systems. In the worst case the engine could cut out.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the 143 vehicles that are likely to be affected and tape the edges of the bracket cut-out with adhesive felt tape & secure wiring harness.

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.
