Concern

Retrofitting protective relay for reverser control unit

Defect, as DVSA words it

On affected vehicles the reverser control unit may be insufficiently sealed allowing moisture to lead to corrosion of the internal electrical contacts.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Affected vehicles will have a protective relay and addition wiring fitted. The control unit will also be reprogramed.

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.
