Concern

Driver's airbag may deploy

Defect, as DVSA words it

The steering column has no electrical connection to ground other than the spiral cable. In the event that the spiral cable is damaged the airbag warning light will illuminate. If the customer ignores the warning light and continues to drive for extended periods electrostatic charge may be discharged through the electrical circuit of the drivers airbag. In an extreme case this discharge could be sufficient to trigger an unintended deployment of the driver airbag.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a slip ring to the steering column on all potentially affected vehicles.

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.
