Concern

Door latching mechanism may malfunction in hot temperatures

Defect, as DVSA words it

The locking mechanism in the door latch assembly may not operate properly in high temperatures. As a result the door may latch correctly and may unintentionally open whilst driving.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

A modified assembly is available and depending on vehicle identification number the remedy is to replace either both O/S door latches or on all four doors.

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.
