Concern

The steering shaft bearing plate may not be screwed to the engine bulkhead correctly

Defect, as DVSA words it

The steering shaft bearing plate may not have been screwed on correctly.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

On the affected vehicles the screw connection of the steering shaft bearing plate will be inspected and if necessary correctly attached or 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. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
