Concern

ARB6 recall campaign – Checking HVB cell modules and re-programming BMCe software

Defect, as DVSA words it

A short circuit within the battery modules during the vehicle’s service life cannot be ruled out under certain circumstances which could lead to thermal events and later to a fire in the vehicle.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

On the affected vehicles the battery modules must be replaced and the on-board diagnostic software (BMCe control unit) will be installed.

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.
