Concern

On affected vehicles the aluminium bolts of the steering gear could corrode and break due to the intrusion of moisture.

Defect, as DVSA words it

On affected vehicles the aluminium bolts of the steering gear could corrode and break due to the intrusion of moisture.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Replace the steering gear mounting bolts on the affected vehicles with steel bolts. Should the bolts break or already be broken change the steering gear.

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.
