Concern

PV5 Front Shock Absorber Lower Bracket Welding - Safety Recall

Defect, as DVSA words it

Potential that the right-hand front shock absorber lower bracket welding may fail and the shock absorber becomes detached from the lower arm. This would cause the vehicle ride height to drop at the front right side.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Check LOT number if within affected range replace shock absorber.

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.
