Concern

The engine pre-heater relay may overheat and fail

Defect, as DVSA words it

The engine pre-heater relay may overheat and fail due to short circuit between the 24V and ground on the printed circuit board (PCB).

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Modify pre-heater relay harness by connection of extension cable with fuse. Replace pre-heater relay as 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. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
