Concern

Aluminium trim may partly detach from loudspeaker trim in doors and cause injury to occupants

Defect, as DVSA words it

The aluminium trim may become detached from the loud speaker trim in the front or rear doors. Cuts and other injuries from the sharp edges may occur.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

The affected vehicles will be recalled and all four aluminium strips on the loud speaker trims will be replaced.

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.
