Concern

The mounting for the head restraint is not correctly welded to the outer backrest frame for the rear seat

Defect, as DVSA words it

The rear back rest head restraint mounting is not correctly welded.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Check and replace rear back rest frame if required.

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.
