Concern

Vehicles may have been fitted with a hinged towing bracket on which the locking mechanism in the hinge module could be faulty

Defect, as DVSA words it

Vehicles may have been fitted with a hinged towing bracket on which the locking mechanism in the hinge module could be faulty.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

The hinge module for the towing bracket must be checked and where necessary replaced on the vehicles affected.

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.
