Concern

The rear axle bolts may fracture during vehicle acceleration.

Defect, as DVSA words it

In some of the affected vehicles the rear axle bolts may fracture during vehicle acceleration and may prevent the vehicle from being held stationary if the parking brake is not applied.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

A software update will engage the electronic parking brake every time the vehicle is shifted into Park preventing vehicles from rolling.

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.
