Concern

The lower metal engine protection guard and theunderside of the engine exhaust system could trap material in it.

Defect, as DVSA words it

The possibility that the lower metal engine protection guard could trap material between it and the underside of the engine exhaust system

Remedy, as DVSA words it

: Replace the metal under engine protection guard with a different design to prevent the collection of material.

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.
