Concern

Some vehicles do not have an audible warning when the rear fog lamp is left switched on

Defect, as DVSA words it

The audible warning when the rear fog lamp is left switched on the ignition is switched off and the driver�s door opened on some vehicles does not function.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Update the dash cluster software to include an audible warning function.

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.
