Concern

GKN Automotive Aftermarket Sideshafts and CV Joints

Defect, as DVSA words it

Certain side shafts and CV joints manufactured in China do not meet GKN Automotive’s heightened original equipment level specifications for ultimate strength.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

GKN Automotive will reimburse any customers for the cost of the recalled side shaft or CV joint and for their labour to install a replacement side shaft or CV joint of their choosing. GKN Automotive will also repurchase any remaining inventory from any distributors or retailers.

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.
