Concern

The material quality of the screws used for seat belts and rear seats may not be to specifications.

Defect, as DVSA words it

The material quality of seat and seatbelt screws may not be according to specification.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

On the affected vehicles the screws will be replaced in specific locations on the seat belts or rear seats.

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.
