Concern

Bevel Gear installed with Wrong Ratio

Defect, as DVSA words it

The wrong bevel gear may be installed on the front axle steering. The required gear ratio for HD HDH SHD RHD and Intouro is 1.117:1. A Bevel gear with ratio of 1:1 was installed. For eCitaro models the reverse misinstallation may have occurred. If a 1:1 bevel gear is installed instead of 1.117:1 the wheel steering angles required in accordance with UN ECE-R 79 (section 6.2.5) in the event of a steering system failure can no longer be achieved. Since the calculated vehicle movement does not exactly match the actual vehicle movement in a event of fault unauthorized intervention by the ESP or in articulated buses the articulation angle control (ATC) is also conceivable. This could lead to a sudden reduction of drive torque and braking of individual wheels which may impair the ability to maintain the intended driving direction. A risk to other road users therefore cannot be ruled out.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Remedy is to check the bevel gear and replace them with a correct version if necessary

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.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
