Concern

The lower control arm might not meet manufacturing specification due to missing weld seams

Defect, as DVSA words it

There is a possibility the lower control arm might not meet manufacturing specification due to missing weld seams. In the event of the lower control arm not meeting specification this could potentially lead to a lower arm failure. If this happens the user may experience potential limited steerability causing a hazard to vehicle occupants and to other road users.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Visual inspection of affected parts . Any vehicle that has failed this inspection will have the affected part replaced.

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.
